status

 

Baptodoris peruviana ( d'Orbigny, 1837) View in CoL

Habitat.

Benthic.

Depth.

4-15 m ( Schrödl and Hooker 2014).

Type material.

Holotype ZMB 50748-Isla de Pajargo ( Pájaros), Chile (as Platydoris punctatella Bergh, 1898), poorly preserved. Neotype SSUC 6977 ( Doris peruviana ), Iquique (Chile, 20°12'S), February 1965, undissected specimen ( Fischer and Cervera 2005a).

Distribution.

From San Lorenzo Island (Callao, Peru, 12°S) ( d’Orbigny 1835-1846) to Los Molles ( Valparaíso, 32°15'S) (Fischer and Cervera 2005).

Sampling/reporting sites.

In Peru it was reported for first time as Doriopsis peruviana in San Lorenzo Island (12°05′) by d’Orbigny (1835-1846). It was also reported in Callao (12°S, as Doris peruviana , Dall 1909), Pucusana (Lima, 12°28'S, as Platydoris punctatella , Schrödl 1996a), Tortugas Bay (Ancash, 09°21′S), Independencia Bay (Ica, 14°14'S), and San Juan de Marcona (Ica, 15°21′S) ( Uribe et al. 2013) In Chile, it was collected in Iquique (20°12'S), Mejillones (23°20'S), La Portada (Antofagasta, 23°39'S), and Los Molles ( Valparaíso, 32°15'S) ( Fischer and Cervera 2005a).

Remarks.

Initially reported as Doris peruviana d’Orbigny 1836, transferred to Platydoris Bergh, 1877 by Schrödl (2003), who also included Bergh’s (1898) description of P. punctatella as a junior synonym. Dorgan et al. (2002) ruled out that these reports were about a species belonging to Platydoris , based on a photograph of a live specimen ( Schrödl 1996a). Based on the description of the radular teeth, this species was transferred from Platydoris to the genus Baptodoris ( Fischer and Cervera 2005a). Regarding its northernmost distribution, Fischer and Cervera (2005a) considered the reports from Tagus Cove (Albermarle, Galapagos Islands) ( Pilsbry and Vanatta 1902) as doubtful.
