A REVISION OF THE ANTARCTIC SPECIES OF BATHYDORIS BERGH, 1884 AND COMPARISON WITH OTHER KNOWN BATHYDORIDS (OPISTHOBRANCHIA, NUDIBRANCHIA)

Rich material from the Atlantic sector of the Antarctic allows a detailed description of the morphology and anatomy of Bathydoris clavigera Thiele, 1912 and B. hodgsoni Eliot, 1907 (Opisthobranchia, Nudibranchia, Gnathodoridacea). A systematic revision of Antarctic and deep-sea species of Bathydoris...

Description
Summary:Rich material from the Atlantic sector of the Antarctic allows a detailed description of the morphology and anatomy of Bathydoris clavigera Thiele, 1912 and B. hodgsoni Eliot, 1907 (Opisthobranchia, Nudibranchia, Gnathodoridacea). A systematic revision of Antarctic and deep-sea species of Bathydoris Bergh , 1884 leads to the conclusion, that B. obliquata Odhner, 1934 and B. argentine Kaiser, 1980 are junior synonyms of B. clavigera , and B. inflata Eliot, 1907 and B. brownii Evans, 1914 junior synonym of B. hodgsoni .
