Notes

Hesione species display a high colour variability and it is currently unknown whether these are colour morphs of the same species or belong to different species ( Mikac 2015, Jimi et al. 2017). For this reason, the status of Hesione pantherina , Hesione splendida and similar species is still unclear; here we follow the opinion of F. Pleijel (pers. comm. to Mikac 2015) and list occurrences of Hesione pantherina under Hesione splendida .
