Notodasus eibyejacobseni (Green, 2002) comb. n.

Dodecaseta eibyejacobseni Green, 2002: 249-343, fig. 24 A–G

Remarks.

The type material of Dodecaseta eibyejacobseni could not be review because it could not be located in the Phuket Marine Biological Center (Aungtonya, per. comm.). However, the original description of Green (2002) and the figure 24 A–G, provides evidence of morphological characters that are present in the genus Notodasus . Thus, we considered that this species needs be reassigned to the genus Notodasus .

Green (2002) states that she compared specimens of N. eibyejacobseni with specimens identified by Hartman (1947) as Dasybranchus lumbricoides Grube, 1878 (LACM-AHF n 2222,1451-42, n2170, 14913-F2676), from intertidal areas of southern California, lower California and other parts of western Mexico. Green found similarities between Hartman´s specimens and her own specimens from the BIOSHELF material. However, as D. lumbricoides was originally described from Pandanon Island (Philippines) there is a possibility that specimens from Thailand by Green and those from California and Mexico by Hartman do not belong to the same species as demonstrated below.

We reviewed some lots collected in California and identified by Olga Hartman and Kristian Fauchald as D. lumbricoides : LACM AHF POLY-N-1450-42, N1451-42; LACM AHF POLY-N 2221; LACM AHF POLY-N 1284/14884-F2637 and LACM AHF POLY-N 14905/F2663 (by O. Hartman), and LACM AHF POLY- N-1746 (by K. Fauchald). Specimens of the first four lots, all correspond to Notodasus harrisae García-Garza et al., 2009; specimen LACM AHF POLY-N 1284/14884-F2637 correspond to Notodasus oraria new combination; and specimen LACM AHF POLY-N 14905/F2663 correspond to Dasybranchus platyceps Hartman, 1947.

Ewing (1984) reported D. lumbricoides from the northern Gulf of Mexico, Florida however, based on his description, these specimens belong in the genus Notodasus but we do not have access to specimens in order to corroborate our observations.
