Hesione splendida Savigny in Lamarck, 1818
Hesione pantherina

Hesione splendida
Savigny in Lamarck, 1818
Notes
Hesione
species display a high colour variability and it is currently unknown whether these are colour morphs of the same species or belong to different species (
Mikac 2015
,
Jimi et al. 2017
). For this reason, the status of
Hesione pantherina
,
Hesione splendida
and similar species is still unclear; here we follow the opinion of F. Pleijel (pers. comm. to
Mikac 2015
) and list occurrences of
Hesione pantherina
under
Hesione splendida
.
