, who observed that these sorts of deviations occur about 2% of the time in any given population, and may play an important role in the ability of a lineage to withstand environmental perturbations.

One might further question whether slight morphological differences such as gonadal papillae number, gastro-gonadal pouch shape, tentacular armature, and ontogenetic comparisons are sufficient grounds to propose a new species. We assert that it is equally possible that all forms of

might be members of one highly variable species, or that morphologically diagnosable forms in different geographical regions represent further biological differences not previously appreciated; the answer to this question rests in further study based on large numbers of specimens subjected to statistical and molecular analyses. In the meantime, it seems clear to us that the Australian form bears numerous structural differences from the Malayan form, and we question the accuracy of some identifications from other regions.
