Resomia sp.

Synonyms in the area: Moseria spp.—Pugh (1999); Moseria cf. convoluta —Araujo (2006); Resomia convolta cf. (Moser, 1925)—Araujo (2012).

Remarks: a new generic name and family was proposed by Pugh (2006), because the generic name Moseria was pre-occupied, and the characteristics of the species differed from all other known physonects. Presence of one or more (as stated by Pugh 1999) species in the area are subject to confirmation.

Distribution in South America: Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, from 3ºS to 12ºS (Araujo, 2006, 2012).
