This genus has been sunk and the species moved to Candiella. How do people feel about these changes?

Where s the paper for that?

Posted by v_stefan 9 months ago

@v_stefan : De Vasconcelos Silva, F., Pola, M. & Cervera, J. L. (2023). A stomach plate to divide them all: a phylogenetic reassessment of the family Tritoniidae (Nudibranchia: Cladobranchia). Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society. , available online at https://doi.org/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlad013
I haven't read it yet but will later in the day. @bernardpicton , @bagoncas , @tgosliner , your thoughts?

Just got a copy Lucas Cervera sent me, it'll take some time to digest. I think this change is valid and (you've guessed it) there are some splits on the way as this study revealed Candiella manicata to be a complex of 4 species (no descriptions yet).

Any more thoughts?

Should this be swapped? MB still has D. septemtrionalis as valid.

I've already posted my opinion @thomaseverest

Posted by jpsilva 3 months ago

so far as I am aware, the Cape Town/South African species has been determined to be an undescribed species of Candiella

OK I will swap if none of the genus-level observations are "Duvaucelia" septemtrionalis.
