Resumen

El estudio anatómico de nuevo material procedente del Indo-Pacífico así como el examen de diferentes colecciones de todo el mundo ha permitido la revisión del género Nembrotha Bergh, 1877. Se describen dos nuevas especies, Nembrotha rosannulata n. sp. y Nembrotha aurea n. sp. El nombre disponible más antiguo relativo a este género es Nembrotha nigerrima Bergh, 1877, que fue designado subsiguientemente como especie tipo por O¿Donoghue, 1924. El estudio del material tipo original de N. nigerrima confirmó que se trata de un sinónimo más antiguo de otro nombre introducido con posterioridad, Nembrotha kubaryana Bergh, 1877, el nombre usado más comúnmente para esta especie. Sin embargo, según lo previsto en el Código Internacional de Nomenclatura Zoológica (Artículo 23.9.1), no hay razón alguna para invalidar el sinónimo más antiguo, Nembrotha nigerrima, ya que este nombre ha sido utilizado como válido después de 1899. Nembrotha cristata Bergh, 1877, N. lineolata Bergh, 1905, N. purpureolineata O¿Donoghue, 1924, N. livingstonei Allan, 1933, N. megalocera Yonow, 1990 and N. guttata Yonow, 1993, especies pobremente conocidas, son redescritas. Nembrotha rutilans (Pruvot-Fol, 1931) es sinonimizada con N. purpureolineata. N Nembrotha yonowae Goethel and Debelius, 1992 es sinonimizada con N. guttata. Se redescriben las rádulas de Nembrotha milleri Gosliner and Behrens, 1997 and N. mullineri Gosliner and Behrens, 1997.
