Moreover, the present study suggests the existence of a species complex of five different species under the name Tao. lilacina , which also requires further research. Since we do not have material from the type locality (Hawaii), we cannot determine which specimen represents the true Tao. lilacina until further studies. Te specimens assigned to Tao. lilacina from the Mediterranean Sea should be transferred to Dis. maculosa Bergh, 1884 ( Dayrat 2011), which is the oldest name available for this region (type locality Naples, Italy), under the new name
