Admiralty Islands Nactus pelagicus species group members

Our examination of Nactus specimens from the Admiralty Islands identifies two distinct morphotypes. One of them shares characteristics with populations of Nactus pelagicus from Oceania. The other morphotype is striking in its color pattern, differing from any other Nactus population; this morphotype also possesses a number of differences in scalation and is also genetically very distinctive. It represents a new species.
