Chelidonura flavolobata from Red Sea [1]

May 28, 2003
From: Nils Anthes


Dear Julian and Bill,
The pictures of Julian's Chelidonura from Fiji very much remind me of 3 relatively small (but mature) individuals of Chelidonura flavolobata that we found recently (early May 2003) at the Red Sea ca. 20 km south of "Quseir".

They all had dense white spots around the eyes, at the edges of the parapods and the rear end of the head shield. This gives a very similar pattern. Maybe C. flavolobata is much more widely distributed than previously known?

Dear Nils,
The Forum has been the source of quite a few major increases in distribution. It's possible we have another one here. It would be nice to get a closer view of the head of the Fijian animal. Was your visit to the Red Sea also for your behaviour work?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
