Note Gulf of Suez, Red Sea, centred at 28.75 N,...
Salazar-Vallejo (2018) has designated the Gulf of Suez specimen as the Lectotype. [details] Type material Earlier it was believed there was no type material remaining (Fide Pleijel, 1998: 159), however Solis-Weiss et al (2004) record the types as MNHN POLY TYPE 139, 140, and Costa & Christoffersen (2017) record the types as "holotype from Red Sea (MNHN type collection 139); 1 paratype from Red Sea (MNHN type collection 140)". This is disconcerting as Lamarck/Savigny would not have labelled a holotype & paratype. More likely they are syntypes [G. Read 2017-10-27].
Subsequently Salazar-Vallejo (2018: 309) designated these two specimens as "Lectotype of Hesione splendida, MNHN-IA-TYPE0140, designated herein, originally collected in the Suez Gulf, M. Botta coll", and as "Paralectotype of H. splendida, MNHN-IA-TYPE0139, smashed down (probably by labels), partially dehydrated, Île-de-France [sic] (Mauritius), M. Mathieu coll." (In which the French name for regional Paris "Île-de-France" was confused with " Isle de France" the former French name for the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean). [details]

Type locality Gulf of Suez, Red Sea, centred at 28.75 N, 33.0 E. Lamarck (1818: 317) states "Habite la mer Rouge, et se trouve à l’lle-de-France". Then Savigny (1822: 40) attributes his figure to "individu du golfe de Suez" then adds "M. Mathieu a trouvée à l'lle de France, et que j'ai rapportée moi-même des côtes de Ia mer Rouge".Salazar-Vallejo (2018) has designated the Gulf of Suez specimen as the Lectotype.

Description Pigmentation is important for identification and distinguising live Hesione from diver images where there is no specimen, but It seems H. splendida has no characteristic colour pattern. Dorsal surface usually shiny, often areolated, living specimens grayish. Salazar-Vallejo (2018) shows only unpigmented preserved specimens in his figures. [details]

Distribution Western Indian Ocean, from the Red Sea and Persian Gulf to Madagascar. Widely recorded due to superseded past synonymies of several names to the oldest name, H. splendida, but records from both within and outside of the Indian Ocean need re-evaluation [details]

Authority Based on the Savigny MS but as written by Lamarck, therefore author is Lamarck. The wording is very different from in Savigny (1822) [details]Description Pigmentation is important for identification and distinguising live Hesione from diver images where there is no specimen, but It seems H. splendida has no characteristic colour pattern. Dorsal surface usually shiny, often areolated, living specimens grayish. Salazar-Vallejo (2018) shows only unpigmented preserved specimens in his figures. [details]
Distribution Western Indian Ocean, from the Red Sea and Persian Gulf to Madagascar. Widely recorded due to superseded past synonymies of several names to the oldest name, H. splendida, but records from both within and outside of the Indian Ocean need re-evaluation [details]
Type locality Gulf of Suez, Red Sea, centred at 28.75 N, 33.0 E. Lamarck (1818: 317) states "Habite la mer Rouge, et se trouve à l’lle-de-France". Then Savigny (1822: 40) attributes his figure to "individu du golfe de Suez" then adds "M. Mathieu a trouvée à l'lle de France, et que j'ai rapportée moi-même des côtes de Ia mer Rouge".
Salazar-Vallejo (2018) has designated the Gulf of Suez specimen as the Lectotype. [details]
Type material Earlier it was believed there was no type material remaining (Fide Pleijel, 1998: 159), however Solis-Weiss et al (2004) record the types as MNHN POLY TYPE 139, 140, and Costa & Christoffersen (2017) record the types as "holotype from Red Sea (MNHN type collection 139); 1 paratype from Red Sea (MNHN type collection 140)". This is disconcerting as Lamarck/Savigny would not have labelled a holotype & paratype. More likely they are syntypes [G. Read 2017-10-27].
Subsequently Salazar-Vallejo (2018: 309) designated these two specimens as "Lectotype of Hesione splendida, MNHN-IA-TYPE0140, designated herein, originally collected in the Suez Gulf, M. Botta coll", and as "Paralectotype of H. splendida, MNHN-IA-TYPE0139, smashed down (probably by labels), partially dehydrated, Île-de-France [sic] (Mauritius), M. Mathieu coll." (In which the French name for regional Paris "Île-de-France" was confused with " Isle de France" the former French name for the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean). [details]
