Aurelia relicta is a species of true jellyfish in the family Ulmaridae.[1] It is known from type specimens found in the Adriatic Sea off Mljet.[2]
The genus name is derived from the Latin name Aurelia, which in turn is derived from aureus, meaning "golden". The specific epithet is derived from the Latin relictus, meaning "abandoned, forsaken", which refers to the "'relict' geographic isolation of the species".[2]
