Redescription of the Sea Hare Phyllaplysia viridis (Bergh, 1905) (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Aplysiida)
ABSTRACT The small, green sea hare, Phyllaplysia viridis, originally described from Indonesia in 1905, has rarely been recorded since. Because the taxonomic status of Phyllaplysia is uncertain, there remains a need for clarification of the currently accepted species. To do so, we used contemporary specimens from eastern Australia and Indonesia to redescribe P. viridis using photographs and scanning electron imagery of its external and internal morphology. Although all examined specimens were small, consistently green animals, images revealed some variation in colour and pattern among adults. Molecular data confirmed the presence of P. viridis in the Philippines, Indonesia and eastern Australia. A phylogenetic tree based on available COI barcode sequences illustrate a sister relationship with other Phyllaplysia. The construction of a haplotype network failed to show any marked geographic structure among specimens.
期刊介绍:
Malacologia publishes papers on all groups of the Mollusca. Malacologia specializes in publishing long papers and monographic treatments. Complete data are especially appreciated. Papers must be of interest to an international readership. Papers in systematics, ecology, population ecology, genetics, molecular genetics, evolution and phylogenetic treatments are especially welcomed. Also welcomed are letters to the editor involving papers published or issues of import to science of the day.
