Scyllaea fulva Quoy & Gaimard, 1824 View in CoL

( Figure 30 D View FIGURE 30 )

Material examined. Three specimens. MB28-004431, BL, 17 Nov. 2011, 4 m, 24mm; MB28-004755, PAQ, 0 3 Dec. 2013, 1 m, 13mm. MHN-YT959, PAN, 0 3 Dec. 2013, 1 m, 12mm.

Habitats. Seagrass in the subtropical region and on aquaculture fishing net in the tropical region.

Occurrences. Barra and Pemba.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west Pacific. Japan ( Baba 1949), Papua New Guinea, Philippines ( Pola et al. 2012), Réunion ( Cadet 2012) and Mozambique.

Remarks. This species was previously synonymized as Schyllaea pelagica Linnaeus, 1758 , however, recent molecular studies demonstrated that Indo-Pacific animals are genetically distinct from S. pelagica and therefore the name S. fulva was re-erected ( Pola et al. 2012). There are records of S. fulva from the Mediterranean ( Petrusek 2002; Yokes 2002), but, as mentioned by Pola et al. (2012), further studies are needed to confirm if the Mediterranean specimens are S. fulva or a different species.
