Treatment

Ophionereis porrecta LYMAN, 1860 complex sp. 2

(UF 6436, Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 i, KC760073 View Materials )

Material. 1 spm, St. 4; 1 spm, St. 5

Remarks. A distinct colour morph is structurally very similar to O. porrecta but confirmed to be genetically distinct (Hoareau et al. 2013). The orange-brown reticulate pattern differs from the typical colour form for O. porrecta sp. 1.

Distribution. A new record for Reunion, the Mascarene Islands and the Indian Ocean.
