Holotype MNHN A2 Did.C 346, geounit Prison Island [details]
From editor or global species database
Genetic nomenclature abbreviation Dicapt [details]Remark This species has no unique character except the high number of elongated ampullae around the adhesive papillae of the larva. But the colour in life, which disappears in formalin, the long oral siphon, and the posterior location of the cloacal siphon taken together, do not correspond to any of the few Didemnum described from the tropical western Indian Ocean. The species name refers to the collection site. [details]
Type locality Tanzania, Zanzibar, Prison Island, 6 m on corals (Richmond coll.), Type: MNHN A2 Did C 346 (Monniot & Monniot, 1997). [details]
