Eubranchus vittatus> (Alder & Hancock, 1842)
Olive blotches on body. Eight rows of smooth, slender cerata each side; many cerata per row; their surfaces lack nodular tubercles.
Image of E. vittatus as E. cingulatus from Family 3 plate 28 in Alder & Hancock (1845-1855).
E. cingulatus (Alder & Hancock, 1847) was accepted as a valid species by Thompson & Brown (1984), but it is now regarded by WoRMS as a synonym of E. vittatus.
Thompson and Brown (1984) wrote, “Records of this species are chaotic because of confusion with E. doriae. – – – Thompson & Brown (1976) and Schmekel and Portmann (1982) have all published illustrations of E. doriae incorrectly labelled as E. cingulatus”.
