Abstract

Between 2003 and 2008 during surveys and collection of ascidians along the Red Sea coast of Israel several specimens of an undescribed species of Boltenia were collected by SCUBA from man-made structures at 1-20 m depth. This is the first species of the genus Boltenia described from the Red Sea. We name the new species Boltenia yossiloya in honor of Professor Yossi Loya, a world renowned researcher of the coral reefs of Eilat.
