Treatment

Pleurolidia juliae Burn, 1966 View in CoL

( Figure 35 L View FIGURE 35 )

Material examined. Six specimens. UL-YT110, ZWH, 0 2 Feb. 2012, 18 m, 12mm; MB28-004451 and MB28- 0 0 4452, ZWH, 0 5 Feb. 2012, 16 m, 20 and 15mm, respectively; MB28-0 0 4528, ZGWS, 23 Mar. 2012, 22 m, 7mm; MB28-004761, VISP, 12 Jun. 2013, 5 m, 2mm; MHN-YT316, ZGWS, 23 Mar. 2012, 22 m, 20mm.

Habitats. Subtropical rocky reefs and tropical coral reefs.

Occurrences. Zavora and Vamizi Island.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west, central Pacific. Hawaii, Papua New Guinea ( Carmona et al. 2015), Australia ( Burn 1966), Philippines, Indonesia, Madagascar (Gosliner et al. 2008) and Mozambique.

Remarks. A morphological and molecular review of P. juliae and Protaeolidiella atra Baba, 1955 confirmed that these two species do not belong to the same genus and that both genera are monotypic ( Carmona et al. 2015). Analysis also confirmed the provisional placement of this species within the non-monophyletic family Facelinidae .
