Anteaeolidiella cf. fijensis Carmona, Bhave, Salunkhe, Pola, Gosliner & Cervera, 2014

( Figure 33 E )

Material examined. One specimen. MB28-004746, ZRP, 0 9 Oct. 2013, 0.5m, 18mm. Habitats. Subtropical tidal reef.

Occurrences. Zavora.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west Pacific. Fiji ( Carmona et al. 2014a), India ( Carmona et al. 2017a) and Mozambique.

Remarks. The genus Anteaeolidiella was reviewed by Carmona et al. (2014a) and none of the specimens illustrated have the same colour pattern as the Mozambican specimen. The holotype of Anteaeolidiella fijensis from Fiji has a similar colour pattern on the head, rhinophores and oral tentacles, however the white dorsal mark differs: in the Mozambican specimen it is further posterior, around the fifth ceratal row. As a result it is likely that this specimen is a variation of A. fijensis . However, this needs to be tested using molecular analysis.
