Taxonomic history

Miller [1] created this genus in 2001 based on specimens from New Zealand which he identified as Aeolidiella indica, which was thought to be a cosmopolitan species since Gosliner and Griffiths synonymised several species in 1981. [5] A study published in 2014 based on molecular characters reversed most of these synonymies and described three new species. [4]

Zoogeography

The genus Anteaeolidiella has a worldwide distribution in tropical and warm temperate waters. Three species are known from the East Pacific; Anteaeolidiella ireneae , Anteaeolidiella chromosoma and Anteaeolidiella oliviae . Three species are found in the West Pacific; Anteaeolidiella takanosimensis , Japan, Anteaeolidiella fijensis , Fiji and Anteaeolidiella cacaotica , Australia. The Indian Ocean has Anteaeolidiella indica , Mauritius, Anteaeolidiella poshitra , India, Anteaeolidiella orientalis , Java and India and Anteaeolidiella saldanhensis , South Africa. In the Atlantic Ocean one species has been described; Anteaeolidiella lurana , from Brazil, the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and this species also occurs in Australia and New Zealand.
