Nearly 13% of ‘opisthobranch’gastropods in the Atlantic Ocean are believed to show amphiatlantic distributions (Garcıa & Bertsch, 2009). This assumption, which has been based mainly on morpho-anatomical similarities, has rarely been tested within a molecular phylogenetic framework. During the past decade, molecular methods have frequently shown that cosmopolitan or widely distributed heterobranch ‘species’ consist of taxonomic complexes of multiple linages (Malaquias & Reid, 2008, 2009; Carmona et al., 2011, 2014a, b; Jorger et al., 2012; Ornelas-Gatdula et al., 2012; Pola et al., 2012; Krug et al., 2013). At present, the aeolid genus Tergipes Cuvier, 1805 contains six species (Bouchet & Gofas, 2013): T. antarcticus Pelseneer, 1903; T. brochi Risso, 1818; T. dicquemari Risso, 1818; T. edwardsii Nordmann, 1844; T. tergipes (Forskal, 1775) and T. valentini (Elliot, 1907). However, the two species described by Risso (1818) have not been encountered in the past century. Regarding T. valentini, this species was transferred to Cuthona by Schrodl (2003) because it has more than a single ceras per row. However, this reassignment has been overlooked by later researchers (eg Valdes et al., 2012). Tergipes tergipes is regarded as an amphiatlantic boreal species (Franz, 1970; Thompson & Brown, 1984; Templado et al., 1987; Bleakney, 1996). It has been reported from Iceland (Lemche, 1938; Platts, 1985) to the southern Iberian Peninsula, including Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, the British Isles and Atlantic coast of France (Schmekel & Portmann, 1982; Thompson & Brown, 1984; Cervera et al., 2004). Schmekel & Portman (1982), Betti (2011) and Martynov & Korshunova (2011) reported specimens of T. tergipes from the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and the Barents and the Black Seas respectively. The western Atlantic distribution of this species ranges from Newfoundland (Canada) to New Jersey (USA)(Bleakney, 1996). In addition, a single specimen of T. tergipes has been reported from Brazil (Marcus, 1957). Although the amphiatlantic distribution of this species has been generally accepted, Bleakney (1996) expressed doubt about the conspecificity of populations on either side of the Atlantic. In this study we use molecular phylogenetic methods to test the hypothesis that the populations of T. tergipes on the eastern and western coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean are conspecific. Samples were collected by SCUBA diving with standard sampling techniques for heterobranchs and obtained from wet collections housed at several museums, namely California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, USA (CASIZ), Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain (MNCN) and Zoological Museum of Moscow State University (ZMMU). Nineteen specimens of T. tergipes were studied. Thirty-four additional sequences were obtained from GenBank (see Table 1 for full list of samples, localities and vouchers), including one sequence of T. antarcticus. Tritonia challengeriana Bergh, 1884 was chosen as a distant outgroup because of its basal phylogenetic position within Cladobranchia (Pola & Gosliner, 2010). Tissue samples were taken from the foot. Extraction, amplification, purification and sequencing of portions of the COI, 16S rRNA and H3 genes followed the methods of Carmona et al.(2013, 2014b). Sequence reactions were run on a 3730XL DNA sequencer (Applied Biosystems). Sequences were verified by forward and reverse comparisons and have been deposited in GenBank (Table 1). Sequences were assembled and edited with Geneious Pro v. 4.7. 6 (Drummond et al., 2009), aligned in MAFFT (Katoh et al., 2009) and further checked using …
