Taxon Notes:	Indo-Pacific material previously included in Elysia ornata (now regarded as restricted to the Caribbean) has been shown in recent genetic work to be 4 distinct Indo-Pacific lineages. At present, these are all referred to E. marginata as the oldest available name, pending more detailed work to clarify their status.
