Genus: Aegires Lovén,1844
Species: Aegires pruvotfolae Fahey & Gosliner, 2004 |
This species was first described by Pruvot-Fol
in 1930 and named Aegires citrinus.
I'm following the recent paper:
Fahey S.J. & T.M. Gosliner. 2004. A Phylogenetic
Analysis of the Aegiridae Fischer, 1883 (Mollusca, Nudibranchia, Phanerobranchia)
with Descriptions of Eight New Species and a Reassessment of Phanerobranch
Relationships.
Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences
55 (34): 613-689, 82 figs., 4 tables,
and place the genus Notodoris into Aegires,
so the name Aegires citrinus is occupied by the old Notodoris
citrina, this causes its new name.
formerly placed in the Order: NUDIBRANCHIA, in the Subclass: OPISTHOBRANCHIA
