Specimens were first considered by Benazzi (1969)to belong to D. benazziiwith a chromosome complement of 2n = 16; n = 8. Later, Pala et al. (1980a)performed a morphological analysis and assigned the animals to D. etrusca monoadenodactyla,a species previously reported only from Tuscany, thus supporting the ancient connections between Sardinia and Tuscany through the Tuscany Archipelago and Corsicaduring Quaternary glacial periods.
