Marta Pola, Terry Gosliner and I have just published a revision of the genus Bornella which includes a number of new species and shows that Bornella japonica Baba, 1949 from Japan is a junior synonym of Bornella hermanni Angas, 1864 from eastern Australia.

I have prepared Fact Sheets for the following species and will in the next few days update existing Fact Sheets.

Bornella dotoides Pola et al, 2009
Bornella johnsonorum Pola et al, 2009
Bornella valdae Pola et al, 2009
Bornella pele Pola et al, 2009
