Limenandra confusa Carmona, Pola, Gosliner & Cervera, 2014 View in CoL

( Figure 34 C View FIGURE 34 )

Material examined. One specimen. MB28-004710, ZRP, 0 8 Aug. 2013, 0.5m, 14mm.

Habitats. Subtropical tidal reef.

Occurrences. Zavora.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west, central and eastern Pacific. Costa Rica (Camacho-García et al. 2005), Gulf of California ( Bertsch 1972), Hawaii (Kay 1979), Midway Islands ( Carmona et al. 2014c), Philippines, Mexico (Gosliner et al. 2008) and Mozambique.

Remarks. The Mozambican specimen exhibited a synchronised movement of its longer mid-dorsal cerata whilst crawling, behaviour not previously reported. Carmona et al. (2014b) recently reviewed this genus. Limenadra nodosa occurs in the Mediterranean and Atlantic whilst L. confusa is distributed in the Pacific ( Carmona et al. 2014c). As a result it is likely that this specimen represents the first record of L. confusa from the Indian Ocean.
