Aegires pruvotfolae Fahey & Gosliner, 2004 View in CoL

( Figure 25 G View FIGURE 25 )

Material examined. Two specimens. MB28-004537, ZRP, 0 6 May 2012, 1m, 5mm; ZMBN105115, VIMK, 17 May 2015, 0.5m, 6mm.

Habitats. Subtropical rocky reef and tropical seagrass.

Occurrences. Zavora and Vamizi Island.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west, central Pacific. Hawaii ( Fahey &Gosliner 2004; Gosliner et al. 2008), Midway Atoll (Gosliner et al. 2008), Palau ( Fahey &Gosliner 2004; Gosliner et al. 2008), New Caledonia (Pruvot- Fol 1930), Australia, Philippines, Madagascar, Tanzania ( Fahey & Gosliner 2004) and Mozambique.

Remarks. This species was originally described as Aegires citrinus Pruvot-Fol, 1930 and was renamed by Fahey and Gosliner (2004) as A. pruvotfolae to separate from Aegires citrinus ( Bergh 1875) , which was reassigned from Notodoris to Aegires to maintain the monophyly of the genus Aegires . Bouchet (2015a) considers A. pruvotfolae as an “unnecessary nom. nov” in the database WoRMS; however, as this species is different from A. citrinus we consider A. pruvotfolae to be the correct name for the Mozambican specimens.
