Chrysaora fulgida, the Benguela compass jelly, is a species of jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae.

[1][2] Found in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean along the western coast of South Africa (an area affected by the Benguela Current),[2] its taxonomy has historically caused considerable confusion.

In 1939 it was suggested that C. africana simply represented old individuals of C. fulgida, a view repeated as recently as 2010.

[2][3][4] The last and still-undescribed species, also known by the common name Cape compass jelly, is widespread along the southern African coast from Namibia to Durban in South Africa.

[2] Although a detailed description has been published where a scientific name was proposed,[3] it did not comply with article 8 of the ICZN Code.
