Dear Nelsy,
This is another interesting find. Tyrinna evelinae is one of a group of opisthobranchs which are found on both sides of the Isthmus of Panama. It is also reported from Ghana, on the west African coast. There are very few records of this species - Ghana [1], Brazil [1], Caribbean [2-3], East Pacific [3-4] - so your record is an important addition to our knowledge. Any futher information on its behaviour or biology would be of interest
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
