Taxon Notes:

This taxon was listed as nomen inquirendum by Golestani et al, 2019, and its' status requires clarification. We use it here as the oldest available name for the temperate/subtropical Australian/New Zealand specimens previously referred to as Aplysia parvula, as these are definitely not the latter, and also do not appear to be either of the tropical species known in the region, A. atromarginata and A. nigrocincta.
