Description
DORIS ILO (ER. MARCUS, 1955)
Remarks
This is the type species of the genus Siraius Er. Marcus, 1955. It was originally described from near São Paulo (Southern Brazil), based on a single specimen characterized by having a greyish yellow colour with the dorsal tubercles darker. The most remarkable feature of this species is the presence of 22 branchial leaves.
Marcus (1958) extended the range of this species to Cabo Frio and Marcus & Marcus (1970b) to Curaçao Island in the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain specimens of this species for the present study.
