Aldisa smaragdina from Mediterranean Sea

November 1, 2001
From: Alma Sánchez


Dear Dr Rudman,
Here are two photos of Aldisa smaragdina Ortea, Perez & Llera, 1982. The specimen has been identified by Dr. Ángel Valdés.

This specimen was collected in August, 1999 at the Bay of Algeciras (Strait of Gibraltar, southern Spain) at 3 - 8 m. depth. Size: 15 – 20 mm. Place: Las Lajas Reef

Best wishes,
Alma Sánchez

NOTE: See Luis Sanchez Tocino's message identifying this as A. banyulensis.

Thanks Alma,
Can anyone give some advice on identifying the Mediterranean species of Aldisa? I asked this question some time ago [see top of page] but have had no suggestions. For example how does A. smaragdina differ from Pruvot-Fol's A. binotata?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
