Remarks
Specimens were compared with Panamanian specimens and are similar to a new species being described (Skinner et al. in press). In Yucatan peninsula they are 9–10 cm long, and were found mainly on coral reefs. Oral tentacles are more numerous (43–58) and one of the specimens had the following vessel formula:
E 11 (28) 9 (28) 6 (34) 6 (36) 5 (33) 5 (31) 6 LD 3 (30) 5 (28) 5 (27) 6 (32) 6 (30) 6 (22) 10. All other characters were within the variation found in Panama.
