“…In fact, T. divae was not included in Pola et al (2007Pola et al ( , 2008 because the specimens were missing, but it is included in Pola et al (2014a) and it clusters together with T. limaciformis and T. amakusana. Molecular sequences for several genes are still missing for some species such as T. blacki, but the morphological and molecular analyses so far clearly show that T. limaciformis, T. amakusana and T. divae are grouped together and well as are T. abdere and T. blacki.…”

A new species of Tambja (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Nudibranchia) from the Mediterranean Sea: description of the first species of the genus from the Balearic Islands and Malta

A new species of polycerid nudibranchs of the genus Tambja is described from Mallorca Island (Spain) and Malta. So far, only two species of Tambja had been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea with a distribution limited to southern Spain. With Tambja mediterranea sp. nov., the distribution of the genus in the Mediterranean Sea is extended, and the new species represents the first occurrence of Tambja at the Balearic Islands and Malta. Externally, the new species is mainly characterized by having ground orange-red colour, dorsum covered with rounded whitish tubercles, rhinophores red with whitish tips and three gill branches with orange-reddish rachis and whitish branches. In the present paper, external and internal features of T. mediterranea are described and compared with other species of the genus, especially with its most similar species, T. limaciformis. Additionally, phylogenetic analyses (Bayesian and maximum likelihood) based on mitochondrial sequences (COI) show that T. mediterranea sp. nov. is sister to T. divae and that both species cluster together with T. limaciformis and T. amakusana with the maximum support.

AbstractThis paper provides the first comprehensive annotated and illustrated inventory of Nudipleura from Mozambique. A total of 267 species are recorded, including 61 putative new species, documented over a period of seven years from several localities along the coast. At least 20 species need further investigation through molecular and taxomic analysis. Of the 186 confirmed described species, 118 are new records for the Mozambican fauna. Sampling was carried in tidal reefs and depths up to 60m on the subtropical and tropical coast of Mozambique. The most representative families were Chromodorididae (69 species), Discodorididae (30 species), Facelinidae (23 species) and Phyllididae (16 species). Nevertheless, a vast area of Mozambique remains unexplored, thus it is likely that the species documented here represent only a fraction of the true Nudipleura diversity of the country.

“…A recent paper by Pola et al (2014) compares specimens of a new species of the genus from Australia (Okenia harastii Pola, Roldán and Padilla, 2014) with the specimens of Okenia zoobotryon originally described by Smallwood (1910Smallwood ( , 1912 but also with specimens recently collected in Bermuda. Pola et al (2014) showed that although both species are initially very similar they could be distinguished by morphological and molecular data.…”

The taxonomy of Okenia zoobotryon (Smallwood, 1910) has been extremely problematic, affected by vague original description, complementary descriptions with confusing information, and re-descriptions of species using material collected across a wide geographic range without reference to type material. A recent study based on morphological and molecular data showed that specimens initially identifi ed as O. zoobotryon from Australia belonged to a recently described species, Okenia harastii Pola, Roldán and Padilla, 2014. The collection of several specimens from the type locality, Bermuda, facilitated a complete re-description of O. zoobotryon, with color photographs of the living animal and scanning electron microscopy pictures. In order to preserve the current use of the name Okenia zoobotryon (Smallwood, 1910), a neotype is proposed for this species.
