Tethys panamensis Pilsbry, 1895: 88-89; 1896b, pl. 60, figs 45-48

Type locality.

Panama.

Type material.

Syntype: ANSP A7042 ( Pilsbry 1896b: fig. 45), 1 specimen (52 mm long preserved), ANSP 20693 (Pilsbry, 1896b: figs 46-48), 1 shell (16 mm long; J. A. McNeil coll.).

Remarks.

Recently, the Caribbean species Aplysia dactylomela was genetically differentiated from Indo-Pacific ones ( Alexander and Valdés 2013), while the East Pacific remains unsampled ( Uribe et al. 2013). Aplysia panamenis (Pilsbry, 1895) is the representative synonym of this area.

Current systematic position.

Aplysia dactylomela Rang, 1828 (fide Eales 1960).
