Taxonomic note<\/strong>: The phylogenetic analyses performed by Cella et al. (2016) revealed that the traditional Tergipedidae family is polyphyletic and belongs to a larger monophyletic clade including members of the traditional families Eubranchidae, Fionidae and Calmidae; this was an unexpected result, since the validity of these taxa and their distinctness from the Tergipedidae was never questioned before. They proposed to join the families Tergipedidae, Eubranchidae, Calmidae and Fionidae under the name of Fionidae. This decision has been reinterpreted and completed in the paper by Korshunova et al. (2017) because it obviated evident morphological and molecular aspects.<\/p>Until a few years ago the only known species of the genus Calma<\/em> in the world was C. glaucoides<\/em>, described as Eolis glaucoides<\/em> by Alder & Hancock in 1854. Another species of the same genus, C. gobioophaga<\/em> was recently described thanks to specimens captured in the coasts Of Portugal (Calado & Urgorri, 2002). The study of the specimens of the Portuguese coasts has allowed to distinguish in the genus Calma<\/em> two sympatric species that coexist in the same distribution area and live in the same habitat: C. glaucoides<\/em> and C. gobioophaga<\/em>.
\nCalado and Urgorri (2002) indicate the main differences between the two species, among which are the longest propodial tentacles in C. gobioophaga;\u00a0<\/em>the larger eyes located immediately behind the base of the rhinophores in C. gobioophaga<\/em>, smaller and located behind the base of the rhinophores in C. glaucoides<\/em>; kidney located between the second and last group of cerata in C. gobiophaga<\/em> and between the second and fifth or sixth group of cerata in C. glaucoides<\/em>; somewhat smaller egg size in C. gobioophaga<\/em>; feeding on Gobius niger<\/em> eggs in C. gobioophaga<\/em> and eggs of Lepadogaster lepadogaster<\/em>, L. purpurea<\/em>, L. candollei<\/em>, Parablennius gattorugine<\/em> or P. pilicornis<\/em> on C. glaucoides<\/em>. Very recently Prki\u0107 et al. (2014) have performed a molecular study (COI and 16S genes) of Croatian specimens from different locations of C. glaucoides<\/em> and C. gobioophaga<\/em> confirming the separation of the two species.<\/p>\n
