“…Remarks: Specimens found were initially identified as Berthella stellata (Risso, 1826), a previously circumtropical species (Valdés et al, 2006). Alvim & Pimenta (2015) presented a discussion on morphological differences of Brazilian specimens of B. stellata when compared to specimens from other regions. Despite of the differences, they maintained the name B. stellata for the morphotypes of the Brazilian coast.…”

“…They occur in diverse habitats and substrates, including macroalgae, rocky shores, coral reefs and are distributed from the poles to the tropical regions. Around 6,000 described species are known, of these 250 -excluding pelagic species -are recorded from Brazil, and 124 from the northeastern Brazilian coast (Padula & Absalão, 2005;García et al, 2008;Rios, 2009;Padula & Delgado, 2010;Alvim & Pimenta, 2011;Lima & Delgado, 2011;Cunha, 2011;Sales et al, 2011Alvim & Pimenta, 2013;Sales et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2013;Cunha et al, 2014;Alvim & Pimenta, 2015;Galvão-Filho et al, 2015).…”

“…A few malacological inventories were made in the recent past, among them works focused in Cephalopoda (Leite et al, 2005); gastropods and bivalves (Andrade et al, 2005a, b); and the last one conducted by Martinez et al (2012) covering mollusks in general. Currently, only 14 heterobranch sea slugs are recorded from the coast of Rio Grande do Norte: Aplysia dactylomela Rang, 1828; Atys sandersoni Dall, 1881; Berthella agassizi (MacFarland, 1909); Berthellina ignis Alvim & Pimenta, 2015; Bulla occidentalis A.

Heterobranch sea slugs (Gastropoda) present reduction, internalization, or absence of shell, and include more than 6,000 described species. Approximately 250 species are recorded from Brazil but only 14 had been previously recorded from Rio Grande do Norte, on the Brazilian northeastern coast. As a result of different expeditions conducted between 2008 and 2020, species were collected and identified. Among them, five species were recorded for the first time from the South Atlantic Ocean: Chelidonura hirundinina (Quoy & Gaimard, 1833); Sclerodoris prea (Ev. Marcus & Er. Marcus, 1967); Thuridilla malaquita Ortea & Buske, 2014; Berthella nebula Ghanimi, Schrödl, Goddard, Ballesteros, Gosliner & Valdés, 2020 and Berthella vialactea Ghanimi, Schrödl, Goddard, Ballesteros, Gosliner & Valdés, 2020. Thirty-six species are recorded for the first time from Rio Grande do Norte. The present survey expands the knowledge of the diversity of sea slugs from Brazil and supports the hypothesis of similarity between the heterobranch sea slug fauna from the northeastern Brazil and the Caribbean Sea.

“…The variety of habitats, depths and specimen colours suggest that the animals collected here probably represent a complex of species. The systematics of Berthellina from the Indo-Pacific are in need of a comprehensive review (Cervera et al 1999;Moustafa et al 2016), because this taxon is indistinguishable by external characteristics alone (Gardiner 1936;Alvim & Pimenta 2015).…”

AbstractThis paper provides the first comprehensive annotated and illustrated inventory of Nudipleura from Mozambique. A total of 267 species are recorded, including 61 putative new species, documented over a period of seven years from several localities along the coast. At least 20 species need further investigation through molecular and taxomic analysis. Of the 186 confirmed described species, 118 are new records for the Mozambican fauna. Sampling was carried in tidal reefs and depths up to 60m on the subtropical and tropical coast of Mozambique. The most representative families were Chromodorididae (69 species), Discodorididae (30 species), Facelinidae (23 species) and Phyllididae (16 species). Nevertheless, a vast area of Mozambique remains unexplored, thus it is likely that the species documented here represent only a fraction of the true Nudipleura diversity of the country.

“…exceto Bethella agassizii, a qual utilizamos dados da recente revisão feita para o gênero (Alvim & Pimenta, 2015). Para Thordisa ladislavii, Hallaxa apefae e Knoutsodonta brasiliensis alguns dados foram retirados da literatura (Marcus, 1958;Gosliner & Johnson, 1994;Alvim et al, 2011), pois não foi possível analisar algumas estruturas nos espécimes disponíveis.…”
