Description

In the original description of Hoffmannola hansi [2] the authors Eveline Marcus and Ernst Marcus examine different specimens, noting that "The biggest slug is 48mm long measured over the back (26mm lineal), 20 mm broad and 16 mm high."

The species is named after the German zoologist Hans Hoffmann.

Peronia is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, a shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae. These slugs differ from other onchidiid slugs in having branched "gills" on their dorsal side, although these can be retracted. More than two dozen species of Peronia have been described from the Indo-West Pacific, but a recent revision of the genus determined that 21 of these names are synonyms. Nine species of Peronia are recognized, most of which can differentiated only by examining their internal anatomy or with DNA sequencing.

Ginglymostoma unami, also known as the Pacific nurse shark is a nurse shark of the family Ginglymostomatidae. It is found in southeastern coast of Baja California, Mexico to Costa Rica including Gulf of California. It is 2.8 meters long. This species differs from Ginglymostoma cirratum between posterior end of the second dorsal fin and the beginning of the caudal lobe, both being shorter; the new species also differs by the position of the insertion of the first dorsal fin with regard to the pelvic fins and in the form and number of keels on the dermal denticles and teeth morphology. The Ginglymostoma unami was previously recognized as G.cirratum exhibiting a divided distribution of a species in the northern half of the Atlantic Ocean. However, that species is now considered to be restricted to just the Atlantic Ocean.
