| Abstract | Jellyfish belonging to the genus Phyllorhiza were gathered during both the northeast monsoon and southwest monsoon periods from the coast of Phang-nga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang, and Satun Provinces, southwestern Thailand, Andaman Sea, during 20092018. Additional specimens were collected from Chachoengsao, Phetchaburi, and Chumphon Provinces, the Gulf of Thailand, in 2015 and 2019. Morphological study and DNA analysis revealed that all specimens belong to one species P. punctata. This is the first detailed description of the species for this area even if P. punctata was previously recorded. The 16S and 18S sequences were deposited in NCBI genebank as KT982716 and KT982748, respectively. Comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene fragments between our specimens from Thai waters and those in GenBank revealed that our samples matched those available sequences of P. punctata from Western Mexico, USA (Gulf of Mexico), Australia, and Eastern Mediterranean, based upon maximum likelihood. However, our clade is separate from P. pacifica which is found in the same geographic regions. The morphological analysis of P. pacifica requires further study. |
