Synonymy Kozloff (2000) raised Notocelis gullmarensis maculata to the rank of species. "Notocelis gullmarensis subsp. maculata Karling, Mack-Fira, & Dorjes, 1972, found in Hawaii, differs rather significantly from typical N. gullmarensis with respect to proportions and spatial relationships of some components of the reproductive system. Furthermore, it has a prominent spot of brown pigment in the region of the statocyst, and its eyespot pigment is yellow, rather than orange. In consideration of these distinctions, I propose that subsp. maculata be accorded the rank of species, Notocelis maculata Karling et al., 1982." [Note that this should say 1972]. [details]Unreviewed
