Phyllidia babai Brunckhorst, 1993

A single sequence is available from the studies of Stoffels et al. (2016), assigned to Phyllidia babai , that groups neither with the similarly coloured P. cf. babai nor with P. ocellata in our tree reconstructions. It actually represents the first offshoot within the clade Phyllidia . Stoffels et al. (2016: fig. 10d, RMNH.Moll.336464) illustrated a single specimen which was white and similar to one of their P. cf. babai specimens on the same plate (2016: fig. 10e, f), but has more and smaller black rings and patches, as well as two black rings on the midline. We did not collect any specimens that could be assigned to this clade, which may be the “true” Phyllidia babai .
