Re: Geographical range of Polycera hedgpethi

Hi Bill:

Reading the discussion about the colour variation of Thecacera pennigera, I have seen one of your replies in which you refer to the known geographical distribution of Polycera hedgpethi. This message is to tell you that this species has been also recorded in the Mediterranean Sea more than 10 years ago. This record was presented by other colleagues and me during the VIIth Malacological National Congress, held in Seville (October, 1988). Later, as result of that presentation, a paper was published about the redescription of this species based on the Mediterranean material (from Fusaro Lake, Naples, Italy):

•Cervera, J.L. et al. 1988 (1991). Polycera hedgpethi Marcus, 1964 (Gastropoda; Nudibranchia), una especie indopacifica descubierta en el Mediterraneo. Iberus, 8(2): 225-231.

This species is recorded, but misidentified, in Cattaneo-Vietti, Chemello and Giannuzzi-Savelli (1990) in their "Atlas of Mediterranean Nudibranchs", where they refer to this species as Polycera (Palio) dubia.

Regards.

Lucas.
