Hi Everybody, I am working with the genus Meandrina. I have been
collecting morphometric,population-level and reproductive data for
over a year now. I borrowed the holotype specimen (the only one
available) of Goreaugyra memorialis fron the Smithsonian Museum and
done some morphometrics. Zlatarsky used the descriptin of this
specimen and synonymized it with Meandrina memorialis. There are
morphological differences between what we are calling M. memorialis
here in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean sites and the holotype of
G.memorialis.However, no statistical inferences could be made with
justone specimen. I was wondering if anybody has seen, photographed
and or collected another specimen (s) of Goreaugyra anywhere else is
the wider Caribbean or even outside this area (Brasil??). I am
including a photo of Goreaugyra memorialis
Thanks
Jorge Pinzón
