Due to superficial morphological similarities, there is often confusion in the identification of some species of the genus Septaria. A combined analysis of the genital anatomy, morphometric and DNA, based on a portion of the COI gene, applied to three nominal species of this genus, confirmed the validity of Septaria tahitiana Eichhorst, 2016, and suggested that Septaria borbonica (Bory de Saint Vincent, 1804) is a subspecies of Septaria porcellana (Linnaeus, 1758), both taxa with disjunct distribution areas: Septaria borbonica in the western Indian Ocean and Septaria porcellana the western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans. The possible presence of Septaria tesselata (Lamarck, 1816) in Mayotte (Comoros Archipelago) needs to be confirmed.
由于表面形态相似，一些 Septaria 属的物种经常混淆。通过对 COI 基因部分进行生殖器解剖学、形态计量学和 DNA 的综合分析，应用于该属的三个指名种，证实了 Septaria tahitiana Eichhorst, 2016 的有效性，并表明 Septaria borbonica (Bory de Saint Vincent, 1804) 是 Septaria porcellana (Linnaeus, 1758) 的一个亚种，这两个分类单元的分布区域截然不同：Septaria borbonica 在西印度洋，而 Septaria porcellana 在西太平洋和东印度洋。Septaria tesselata (Lamarck, 1816) 可能存在于马约特岛（科摩罗群岛），需要进一步确认。
