dc.description.abstract | Traditionally, species identification in nudibranch gastropods relies heavily on body color pattern. The
Felimida clenchi species complex, a group of brightly colored Atlantic and Mediterranean species in the
family Chromodorididae, has a history of exceptional controversy and discussion among taxonomists.
The most widely accepted hypothesis is that the complex includes four species (Felimida clenchi, F. neona,
F. binza and F. britoi), each with a characteristic body color pattern. In this study, we investigated the taxonomic
value of coloration in the Felimida clenchi complex, using molecular phylogenetics, speciesdelimitation
analyses (ABGD, GMYC, PTP), haplotype-network methods, and the anatomy of the reproductive
system. None of our analyses recovered the traditional separation into four species. Our results
indicated the existence of three species, a result inconsistent with previous taxonomic hypotheses. We
distinguished an undescribed species of Felimida and redefined the concepts of F. clenchi and F. binza, both
highly polychromatic species. For the first time, molecular data support the existence of extreme color
polymorphism in chromatic nudibranch species, with direct implications for the taxonomy of the group
and its diversity. The polychromatism observed in the F. clenchi complex apparently correlates with the
regional occurrence of similar color patterns in congeneric species, suggesting different mimicry circles.
This may represent a parallel in the marine environment to the mechanisms that play a major role in the
diversification of color in terrestrial and fresh-water chromatic groups, such as heliconian butterflies. | es_ES |
