Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [139520<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note
\n<\/strong>The results of the study by Furfaro et al (2022) revealed that Doriopsilla areolata<\/em>, as previously conceived, is a complex of cryptic species that includes at least two different species, D. areolata<\/em> and D. rarispinosa<\/em>, endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. D. rarispinosa<\/em> was previously considered a synonym of D. areolata<\/em> but this work reinstated it as a valid species based on molecular analysis. Further phylogenetic analyses are still needed to investigate the possible additional species, provisionally reported as Doriopsilla<\/em> sp1 in Furfaro et al (2022), whose occurrence may be searched both in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, along the Spanish and Portuguese coasts, in the Southern Mediterranean coasts of the Alboran Sea and possibly along the Spanish coast up to Catalonia. Further research is also needed to solve the taxonomic problem of the Eastern Atlantic specimens currently (and erroneously) classified as Doriopsilla areolata<\/em>.<\/p>\n
