Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [138753<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note<\/strong>:\u00a0according to the work by Jennifer Alexander and \u00c1ngel Vald\u00e9s:\u00a0The ring doesn’t mean a thing: Molecular data suggest a new taxonomy for two Pacific species of sea hares (Mollusca: Opisthobranchia, Aplysiidae), <\/em>published in\u00a0Pacific Science in 2013,\u00a0A. dactylomela<\/i>\u00a0is an Atlantic species, while\u00a0Aplysia argus<\/i>\u00a0 (R\u00fcppell & Leuckart, 1828), is\u00a0the oldest valid name for the Indo-Pacific specimens. The question was to determine the species for Mediterranean specimens. Again, according to the paper by Vald\u00e9s et al. 2013 – The origin and dispersal pathway of the spotted sea hare Aplysia dactylomela (Mollusca, Opisthobranchia) in the Mediterranean Sea<\/em>, all Mediterranean specimens studied so far are of Atlantic origin, hence they are true Aplysia dactylomela<\/em>.<\/p>\n
