Taxonomy

Goodheart et al. (2016) [2] list Cadlina burnayi Ortea, 1988 as a synonym of Tyrinna evelinae, but WoRMS (2016) list it as a separate species. [3]

Distribution

Distribution of Tyrinna evelinae includes Eastern Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, and Western Atlantic: Costa Rica, Venezuela, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Brazil and Panama. [2]

Description

Body is oval to elongate. [2] Background color is usually translucent white with a number of orange spots. [2] Mantle margin is edged by an opaque white line and white mantle glands with orange tips. [2] Rhinophores and branchial leaves are translucent white with opaque white tips. [2] It is up to 30 mm long. [2] Caribbean populations are morphologically indistinguishable from Eastern Pacific and Eastern Atlantic populations. [2]

Ecology

It is found under rocks and on various sponges. [2] Minimum recorded depth is 0 m. [4] Maximum recorded depth is 5 m. [4]

Tyrinna evelinae in Brazil feeds primarily on dysideid sponges Dysidea etheria , but also upon an unidentified chalinid species (family Chalinidae) of the order Haplosclerida. [5] [2] This species has planktotrophic development. [2]
