Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [141425<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note: <\/strong>Traditionally regarded as a single circumtropical species, molecular studies have suggested that Atlantic and Indo-Pacific populations may correspond to distinct species: the name Scyllaea pelagica<\/em> is applied to Atlantic specimens, while the name Scyllaea fulva<\/em> has been reinstated for Indo-Pacific material (Pola et al<\/em>., 2012).<\/p>\n
