Treatment

Cestoplana nexa Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt, 1975 View in CoL

Cestoplana nexa Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt, 1975: 213–214 View in CoL , pl. 11 fig. a–d (type locality: Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos Archipelago, Ecuador).

Cestoplana nexa View in CoL – Faubel 1983: 92 (identification keys). — Westheide 1991: 44 (mentioned only).

Distribution

Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos Archipelago, Ecuador.

Habitat

Interstitial (coarse intertidal sediments) or rocks.

Remarks

Faubel (1983) considered C. nexa as a species incertae sedis; arguing that Sopott-Ehlers & Schmidt (1975) only made a partial description of the species, based on external morphological characteristics; they only described an elongated and slender body shape and the distribution of eyes spots. The present study suggests a complete description of the species.
