A multigene analysis tests relationships among sampled box jellyfishes and rejects some morphology-based groupings; it does not date Cubozoa or make sampled species direct ancestors.

Claim ledger
Cubozoa has no supported scalar crown range in the cited evidence: the phylogeny samples living box jellies but does not establish a diagnostic 505 Ma crown fossil, so the former 505–0 Ma display is withheld.
claim:taxon:cubozoa:range-boundary-rc50Known limits
- A missing branch or fossil occurrence does not imply biological absence. Internal nodes are not calibrated divergence estimates.
