Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [420527<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note:<\/strong>\u00a0Rudman, 2007 (in Sea Slug Forum) said “Chelidonura cubana<\/em>\u00a0description was based on three tiny animals about 3 mm long. (…) If the animals are juvenile then the colour pattern may be lacking elements found in\u00a0fully grown individuals.(…)\u00a0I would think that\u00a0C. cubana,<\/em>\u00a0with the same colour elements as\u00a0C. africana,<\/em>\u00a0is a synonym of that species”. However this species is actually considered valid in WoRMS. Also the last paper by Zamora-Silva et al (2017) considers this species as valid (at least in the Caribbean), so we also consider it as a valid species.<\/p>\n
