During a survey along the Iberian Mediterranean coast, several specimens of D. botulosus were collected from its reported host. Furthermore, an undescribed species of <i>Doridicola</i> was discovered living in association with <i>Paramuricea clavata</i> (Risso, 1826), a Mediterranean gorgonian usually living in overlaps with that of <i>E. singularis</i>. Although the new species is close to <i>D. botulosus</i>, they differ in the oral appendages. A common origin of these two species was suggested. This is a good example of sibling species produced by the colonisation of two hosts with overlapping habitats}, number={1}, journal={Scientia Marina}, author={Conradi, Mercedes and Megina, César and López-González, Pablo J.}, year={2004}, month={Mar.}, pages={85–96} }
