Here we describe two morphs from the complex as new species. Using morphological comparisons, we show the new species to be closely related but distinct from each other and from M. brockii. Distributed across north-western Australia, M. ffo sp. nov. is known from Exmouth, Western Australia to the Wessel Islands, Northern Territory, whereas M. hermanita sp. nov. is known only from Madang, Papua New Guinea. Differences between the two species include colouration, the size of the receptaculum seminis and some distinction in the jaws. Unravelling the entire complex will take much wider geographic sampling, and will require recollection from the type locality of M. brockii. This group is yet another example of a purportedly widespread aeolid species comprising a complex of species.

Goddard Abstract: Mode of development was determined for 130 of the nearly 250 species of shallow-water, benthic opistho- branchs known from the northeast Pacific Ocean. Excluding four introduced or cryptogenic species, 91% of the species have planktotrophic development, 5% have lecithotrophic development, and 5% have direct development. Of the 12 na- tive species with non-feeding (i.e., lecithotrophic or direct) modes of development, 5 occur largely or entirely south of Point Conception, California, where surface waters are warmer, lower in nutrients, and less productive than those to the north; 4 are known from habitats, mainly estuaries, that are small and sparsely distributed along the Pacific coast of North America; and 1 is Arctic and circumboreal in distribution. The nudibranchs Doto amyra Marcus, 1961 and Phidiana hiltoni (O’Donoghue, 1927) were the only species with non-feeding development that were widespread along the outer coast. This pattern of distribution of developmental mode is consistent with the prediction that planktotrophy should be maintained at high prevalence in regions safe for larval feeding and growth and should tend to be selected against where the risks of larval mortality (from low- or poor-quality food, predation, and transport away from favor- able adult habitat) are higher.

Jiménez9, Gina López10,11, Craig A. Hoover6, Jaymes D. Awbrey3, Jessika M. De Jesus3, William Gowacki12, Patrick J. Krug3 and Ángel Valdés6* Abstract Background: The Bocas del Toro Archipelago is located off the Caribbean coast of Panama. Until now, only 19 species of heterobranch sea slugs have been formally reported from this area; this number constitutes a fraction of total diversity in the Caribbean region. Results: Based on newly conducted fieldwork, we increase the number of recorded heterobranch sea slug species in Bocas del Toro to 82. Descriptive information for each species is provided, including taxonomic and/or ecological notes for most taxa. The collecting effort is also described and compared with that of other field expeditions in the Caribbean and the tropical Eastern Pacific. Conclusions: This increase in known diversity strongly suggests that the distribution of species within the Caribbean is still poorly known and species ranges may need to be modified as more surveys are conducted. Keywords: Heterobranchia, Nudibranchia, Cephalaspidea, Anaspidea, Sacoglossa, Pleurobranchomorpha Introduction studies. However, this research has often been hampered The Bocas del Toro Archipelago is located on the Carib- by a lack of accurate and updated identification/field bean coast of Panama, near the Costa Rican border.

Gosliner • Juan Lucas Cervera Received: 12 March 2015 / Revised: 13 June 2015 / Accepted: 16 June 2015 / Published online: 3 July 2015 Ó Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg and AWI 2015 Abstract In recent years, several morphological and Introduction molecular analyses have been undertaken to study the phylogenetic systematics of Aeolidiidae members. The Burnaia helicochorda (Miller 1987), originally ascribed to monospecific genus Burnaia could not be included in the Aeolidia Cuvier, 1798, was considered a member of Aeo- previous analysis, due to the lack of material. This study lidiidae although the author did not provide any reason for includes two specimens of Burnaia helicochorda from that systematic position. According to Miller (1987, 2001), Australia and places them in their systematic position using this species was of easy identification by its external two mitochondrial and one nuclear genes (COI and 16S, colouration, large body, lamellate rhinophores, and cerata and H3, respectively). A description of its anatomy is also in arches. Actually, because of all these morphological included with colour pictures of the animal and scanning aspects, Miller (2001) decided to create a new genus, electron micrographs of radula and jaws. Based on our Burnaia, for this species. Since it was first described, B. results, B. helicochorda does not belong to Aeolidiidae helicochorda has not been reported many times (Rudman since it appears nested among some facelinids.

They are known for their intriguing patterns and variety of forms and shapes. The present paper reports 8 species of opisthobranchs (Costasiella usagi, Halgerda formosa, Dendrodris guttata, Dendrodoris elongata, Miamira magnifica, Ceratosoma tenue, and Phyllidia exquisita) as new records to Indian waters while Dermatobranchus fortunatus as a new record to Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Description, geographic locations and photographs of live specimens are given. Keywords Opisthobranchs; new record; India; Andaman.

The infra-class Opisthobranchia, falling under class Gastropoda of Phylum Mollusca consists of shelled as well as non-shelled animals commonly called as sea slugs.
