Remarks

Clessin (1899) briefly described Aplysia paeteliana based on a shell of unknown origin. Clessin (1899) also mentioned that this species is the same as the shell identified as A. marginata (= A. punctata ) by Friedrich Paetel and deposited at the Berlin Museum, but it is different from the true A. marginata sensu Blainville (1823) and Sowerby II (1869) (cited as Reeve Conch. icon. fig. 15). Eales (1960) considered A. paeteliana as a synonym of A. parvula . However, as in the previous species, the lack of detail in the original description prevents us from determining the identity of this species and, therefore, we regard A. paeteliana as a taxon inquirendum.
