Taxonomic remark Based on Karling’s (1978) description of Bermudian specimens, differences in the morphology of sclerotized structures may justify a distinct species-status for the Puerto Rican specimen. However, nothing is known about intra-population variability of the cirrus both in Bermuda and Puerto Rico, and a detailed description of the cirrus of Bermudian specimens is lacking. On the basis of available information, no further speculation of the status of the Puerto Rican specimen is thus possible. [details]
