Dear Bill,
Following Marina's message here are some details about the distribution of Polycera aurantiomarginata:
• In 1989, Ortea & Rolan described Polycera xicoi from Cape Verde Islands, a species similar to P. aurantiomarginata.
• In 2000, Valles et al. recorded and described specimens of P. aurantiomarginata from Angola and Namibia, and considered P. xicoi as a junior synonym of the former.

References:

Thanks Lucas,
I was not aware of the Valles et al paper. It is very interesting. Of particular interest are their records of the widespread 'tramp' species Polycera hedgpethi, Thecacera pennigera, and Kaloplocamus ramosus from Angola.
