A redescription of the Antarctic opisthobranch Philine gibba Strebel, 1908, from the type locality, South Georgia, South Atlantic
Philine gibba is redescribed using large samples collected from the original type locality (South Georgia, South Atlantic). The specimens examined are compatible with all but one previous description which differs sufficiently to require re-identification. Aspects of the anatomy described here diffe...

The specimens examined are compatible with all but one previous description which differs sufficiently to require re-identification. Aspects of the anatomy described here differ in details from earlier studies and it is suggested that previous descriptions are partly erroneous owing to the examination of unrelaxed specimens and some atypical material from small samples. |
