High genetic divergences are even observed between specimens from the same locality (e.g., 3.4% within Vanuatu and Halmahera, and 4.4% within Kavieng, Papua New Guinea). The genetic divergence between the individuals from Vanuatu and those from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia could simply be an artifact of the geographic isolation of Vanuatu. Also, intra-specific divergences up to 5.5% were observed within other onchidiid species (

). The presence of a distinct species in Vanuatu cannot be excluded but would result in splitting
<taxonomicName lsidName="W. melanesiensis" pageId="0" pageNumber="1" rank="species" species="melanesiensis">W. melanesiensis</taxonomicName>
into three or more species, as the specimens from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia are not reciprocally monophyletic with respect to Vanuatu individuals; therefore, specimens from Vanuatu are not currently considered to be a distinct species.
