115. Dondice parguerensis Brandon & Cutress, 1985

Material examined. EOL, 1 spc., H = 34 mm, IVICCM000023. ML, 1 spc., H = 19 mm, MCC.

Ecology. This is a rare species occuring associated with the jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana . The spaw is a white egg cord found around the arms of the jellyfish.

Distribution. Bermuda, Guadeloupe, Panama, Puerto Rico, Venezuela (Higuerote, Miranda: Mariño et al. 2011. La Restinga, Margarita: Grune et al. 2015).

Remarks. Venezuela is the southern limit of the distribution of this species. It is likely that an adequate sampling on Cassiopea jellyfish across the Caribbean would confirm the presence of this species on other localities.
