( Figure 3 View FIGURE 3. A M)
Material examined. HMM, 12 spcs, H = 2–4 mm, MCC.
Ecology. Inside and among the branches of Codium spp. in rocky bottoms (intertidal to 5 m deep). Distribution. ABC Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, USA, Venezuela (El Horcón, Macanao, Margarita Island: Caballer 2007). Amphiatlantic (Valdés et al. 2006; García & Bertsch 2009). Remarks. Placida dendritica is a supposedly cosmopolitan species, difficult to distinguish from P. verticilata , however, previous studies based on material from various Caribbean locations (Caballer 2007), suggest that the records of P. dendritica from the Caribbean actually belong to P. verticilata . Venezuela is the southern limit of the distribution of this species.
