In this paper, Bergh described the nematocysts found in a number of nudibranch species. Many of the species had been described previously, but a number were new and given names, but without a description, and these species are nomina nuda since the nematocysts are not part of the mollusc proper and cannot be considered "part of an animal" in the sense of ICZN. This was pointed out by Jensen & Nielsen (2013: Zootaxa 3753(2): 146–154), who retained Pleurophyllidia quadrilateralis, type of the new genus Sancara, as the only species given a short description fulfilling the requirements of the ICZN. All the species were subsequently described anatomically in detail and made available in a number of papers.
