Description Live colouration is important for separating Hesione species using images so here translated is what Risso (1826) reported: "The back, of a brown red, clear, with metallic reflections, is ringed with small transverse lines dirty lemon yellow; the abdomen is almost flattened, colored with a slightly pearly pinkish-white, with small dark lines, crossed in the middle by a longitudinal band colored by the intestine." [details]
Etymology Not stated. Panther is derived from the Greek for big cats, now in genus Panthera. Risso mentioned H. pantherina was brownish-red with transverse lemon-yellow lines, so we can wonder if the worm was named in some way for its colour pattern. However, the usual live colouration of Mediterranean H. pantherina is apparently not yet confirmed. [details]
Neotype Neotype, MNHNIA-TYPE1850 (formerly jar 70.190b), Mer de Nice, labeled in 1868, no further data, created by Salzar-Vallejo (2018: 283) [details]
Type locality Mediterranean coast of Alpes Maritimes district, from Cannes to Menton, including Nice. Risso does not give precise locations for his marine taxa [details]
