Phylogenetic results by Händeler et al. indicate that the Caribbean "Bosellia marcusi" described by Eveline Agnes du Bois-Reymond Marcus is a derived species of Elysia. Morphological examination indicates that the parapodia of "B. marcusi" have secondarily fused over the dorsum, producing a superficial similarity with Bosellia. Bosellia marcusi Marcus, 1972 is a synonym for Elysia marcusi.
