Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [140830<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note<\/strong>: After the paper by Toms et al (2021), the species Limacia clavigera<\/em> seems to be strictly distributed in Atlantic waters from Norway to the coasts of western Andalusia (Spain), while the specimens found in the Mediterranean, Canary islands, Azores and probably those from Cape Verde would correspond to a different species: Limacia inesae<\/em> Toms, Pola, von der Heyden & Gosliner, 2021. The South African specimens, so far classified as L.clavigera<\/em>, would now correspond to one of the four species described in the area (3 of them new to the science): L.jellyi<\/em>, L.miali<\/em>, L.langavi<\/em> or the existing L.lucida<\/em> which is confirmed as a valid species.<\/p>\n
