Plocamopherus margaritae Vallès & Gosliner, 2006

(Figure 25 E)

Material examined. Two specimens. MB28-005088, PORA, 0 7 May 2014, 15 m, 14mm; MB28-0 0 5089, POD, 11 May 2014, 17 m, 11mm.

Habitats. Subtropical rocky reefs.

Occurrences. Ponta do Ouro.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west Pacific. Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Thailand (Gosliner et al. 2008), United Arab Emirates, Myanmar (Vallès & Gosliner), Mauritius (Arnim 2014) and Mozambique.

Remarks. Both specimens examined here had an atypical colour patter very similar to a specimen found in Mauritius by Arnim (2014) and identified by T. Gosliner, A. Valdès and N. Yonow as P. margaritae . Despite several external similarities between different colour morphotypes (e.g. 3 pairs of lateral appendages, black spots on the dorsum and flattened and fringed oral veil), such variations still need to be confirmed through molecular analyses.
