(Figure 35 L)
Material examined. Six specimens. UL-YT110, ZWH, 0 2 Feb. 2012, 18 m, 12mm; MB28-004451 and MB28- 0 0 4452, ZWH, 0 5 Feb. 2012, 16 m, 20 and 15mm, respectively; MB28-0 0 4528, ZGWS, 23 Mar. 2012, 22 m, 7mm; MB28-004761, VISP, 12 Jun. 2013, 5 m, 2mm; MHN-YT316, ZGWS, 23 Mar. 2012, 22 m, 20mm.
Habitats. Subtropical rocky reefs and tropical coral reefs.
Occurrences. Zavora and Vamizi Island.
Geographic distribution. Indo-west, central Pacific. Hawaii, Papua New Guinea (Carmona et al. 2015), Australia (Burn 1966), Philippines, Indonesia, Madagascar (Gosliner et al. 2008) and Mozambique.
Remarks. A morphological and molecular review of P. juliae and Protaeolidiella atra Baba, 1955 confirmed that these two species do not belong to the same genus and that both genera are monotypic (Carmona et al. 2015). Analysis also confirmed the provisional placement of this species within the non-monophyletic family Facelinidae.
