Description
Sycon elegans sensu Borojević 1967
Borojević (1967: 201) reported this North Atlantic species (cf. Bowerbank, 1864) from the Durban coast, admitting that this was the southernmost occurrence of the species. Simultaneously he referred Burton’s (1933) record of West Pacific Sycon gelatinosum (Blainville, 1834) and East African Sycon tabulatum (Schuffner, 1877) to the very similar S. elegans. As we pointed out above, Sycon tabulatum appears the more likely identity for this record, as S. elegans and S. gelatinosum have their type localities at a great distance from East Africa.
