Pseudobiceros viridis ( Kelaart 1858)

Taxonomic remarks. The species Pseudoceros viridis was included in Pseudobiceros in Faubel’s (1984) revision based evidences that it has two instead of one male gonopore and pointed ear like tentacles ( Stummer-Traunfels 1933, p. 3543; Marcus 1950). However, this species is not present in Newman & Cannon’s (1994) revision. Later described mottled green species such as Pseudobiceros brogani and Pseudobiceros kryptos ( Newman & Cannon, 1997) are externally similar to P. v i r i di s and are also from the Indo-Pacific. They should be compared with P. viridis material from the type locality and corresponding histological slides so as to confirm these three species are indeed different.
