Navanax aenigmaticus synonymous?

February 5, 2001
From: Phanor Montoya

Hi Bill!
I hope you had a nice Christmas and the New Year came with happiness. I have question to ask:

Are Chelidonura evelinae, Aglaja evelinae and Navanax aenigmaticus synonymous? I found that the first two were considered by Marcus (1976) as same species; also C. evelinae and N. aenigmaticus are synonymous. So, could I think that the three species are the same, so far?
Thanks

Dear Phanor,
Yes the names are all synonyms, and Bergh's name Navanax aenigmaticus is by far the oldest
