Material examined

MADEIRA • 1 spec.; 32°41′18.52″ N, 16°58′57.36″ W (Fig. 1B); 2000; Leopoldo Moro leg.; RCCN.

Distribution

Atlantic Ocean, between Newfoundland and Ireland (type locality) (Mertens 1833); Pacific Ocean (Graff 1892; Woodworth 1894; Plehn 1896); Canary Islands (De Vera et al. 2009; Cuadrado et al. 2017); Vietnam (Dawydoff 1952); the North Sea (Prudhoe 1982); Japan (Kato 1938); the Mediterranean Sea (Lang 1879, 1884; Riedl 1959; Marquina et al. 2014); pelagic fauna of the Atlantic Ocean (Graff 1892; Plehn 1896); Cape Verde and Ascension islands (Plehn 1896; Laidlaw 1903);

New record

Madeira.

Remarks

Planocera pellucida, together with Pseudoceros wirtzi, Pseudoceros cf. maximus and Prostheceraeus giesbrechtii are the three polyclad species currently recorded for Madeira. As can be seen in Fig. 7J. The specimens of Planocera pellucida from Madeira do not differ molecularly from those captured in the Canary Islands.
