Examined material: BFLA4026 ; 1 specimen; 15-FEB- 2019; size 20 mm; preserved in alcohol for DNA extraction; 16S sequence MW528649 View Materials .
MHNG-INVE-0031754; Mediterranean , Bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer; 43.6860°N 7.3170°E; 70 m depth; collection date 11-MAY-2001; GoogleMaps > 2 specimens; size 3-4 mm; 1 preserved in formalin, others in ethanol for DNA extraction; 16S sequence MW528628 View Materials .
Observations: Specimen from Florida with nearly hemispherical bell, 20 mm wide, apical jelly thick, with long, thin gastric peduncle, peduncle length more than two times the bell height. Thin nematocysts tracks on exumbrella, four perradial and four interradial, interradial ones reaching only to base of short tentacles, perradial ones longer. Stomach on long gastric peduncle, relatively small, four indistinct perradial lips. Radial canals four, centripetal canals not visible on photos. Gonads very wide, flat, leaf-like, heart-shaped with pointed side pointing toward periphery. Four long perradial tentacles originating at bell margin, with ring-shaped nematocyst clusters. Four short interradial tentacles originating above bell margin on exumbrella, with adaxial nematocyst clusters.
16S Data: A blastn search in GenBank with the 16S from Florida ( MW528649 View Materials ) yielded numerous matches with other Liriope tetraphylla samples, but only with identities from 92 to 95.5%. The sequence obtained from the Mediterranean specimen ( MW528628 View Materials ) gave identities from 90 to 99 % with other Liriope tetraphylla sequences.
Distribution: In Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic ocean, including the Mediterranean, approximately between 40°N and 40°S, in the NE Atlantic reaching to the English Channel (Kramp, 968). Type locality: Indian Ocean ( Chamisso & Eysenhardt, 1821).
Remarks: This is a rather unproblematic species, but Collins et al. (2008) suggested the existence of cryptic species based on significant divergences in mitochondrial 16S and nuclear sequence data. The high 16S divergences were confirmed in the present study.
