This species is as Thecacera sp. 4 in IPNat page 110. Pretty similar is Thecacera pacifica which lacks the black spots on the body and does have a black line along the outside edge each gill, its extrabranchial processes, extrarhinophoral processes and the 'tail' are white tipped diffusing into blue then into a black band. This species was posted on 25 April 2004 at these websites as Thecacera sp. A Genus: Fleming, 1828, I changed it on 25 April 2012 into Thecacera sp. 01 Genus: Fleming, 1828. For some genera, such as Trinchesia was the alphabet almost through. I had to change the distinguishing alphabetic character into a number. I had chosen 2-digit numbers, even though '01' looks a little bit stupid, and now is only the genus italic written. Reference: Gosliner, Terrence M., David W. Behrens & Ángel Valdés. 2008.
