Bowerbank, 1864 ) from the Durban coast, admitting that this was the southernmost occurrence of the species. Simultaneously he referred Burton’s (1933) record of West Pacific Sycon gelatinosum ( Blainville, 1834 ) and East African Sycon tabulatum ( Schuffner, 1877 ) to the very similar S. elegans . As we pointed out above, Sycon tabulatum appears the more likely identity for this record, as S. elegans and S. gelatinosum have their type localities at a great distance from East Africa.
