110. Flabellina engeli engeli Ev. Marcus & Er. Marcus, 1968

( Figure 6 I)

Ecology. Crawling on bottoms with Halimeda spp. and rubble.

Distribution. Barbados, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curaçao, Grenada, Martinique, Puerto Rico, St Lucia, USA, Venezuela (Valdés et al. 2006: as F. engeli ).

Remarks. This name probably refers to a complex of species, or at least subspecies (DaCosta et al. 2007). Venezuela is the southern limit of the distribution of F. engeli engeli , the records to F. e n ge l i from Brazil (Padula & Santos 2006; Padula et al. 2012) are owed to F. engeli lucianae (DaCosta et al. 2007) .
