Species

Species within the genus Pteraeolidia include:

  • Pteraeolidia annulata Eliot, 1910 - synonym: Indocratena annulata (Eliot, 1910)
  • Pteraeolidia ianthina (Angas, 1864) - synonyms: Flabellina ianthina Angas, 1864, Flabellina scolopendrella Risbec, 1928
  • Pteraeolidia semperi (Bergh, 1870) - synonym: Flabellina semperi Bergh, 1870

A recent study suggests that there are many species of Pteraeolidia in the Indo-Pacific region.[4]

gollark: I've never particularly needed to, but I feel like never saying anything could end up worse than the alternative.
gollark: Yes, what? indeed.
gollark: You are very fortunate.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to print.
