Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [139029<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note:<\/strong> The Cavolinia inflexa<\/em> species complex has been the subject of several taxonomic interpretations (Boas, 1886; van der Spoel, 1967; Rampal,2002). Various related forms (or subspecies) were described, of which three seem to be currently accepted presently: C. inflexa<\/em> (Lesueur, 1813), C. inflexa imitans<\/em> (Pfeffer, 1880) and C. labiata<\/em> (d\u2019Orbigny, 1835), each of these being treated as independent species, subspecies, or forma in the literature, despite Van der Spoel & Pierrot-Bults (1998) published a study on specimens of C. inflexa<\/em> from around the world where they state that there is no valid ground for the subdivision of this particular species into different taxa.<\/p>\n
