Berthellina? from Cape Verde Islands
August 22, 2003
From: Gérard Breton
Dear Bill,
Here is another message from my dive trip between 22 - 30 March 2003 to two islands of the Cape Verde archipelago: Sal and Fogo.
This one is from Sal, Fereno, rocky bottom, under a stone, - 15m. I understand that what we called Berthella aurantiaca in the Mediterranean sea, should now better be called Berthellina edwardsii. Is it also the case for "my" seaslug from Cape Verde?
Best wishes.

Breton, G., 2003 (Aug 22) Berthellina? from Cape Verde Islands. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/10750Dear Gérard,
If you look at earlier messages on this Berthellina edwardsii Page, you will see that the problem is the apparent impossibility of identifying these orange-yellow species externally [see the following message for example]. Bertella aurantiaca and Berthellina edwardsii are both good species, and it seems there may be other similarly coloured species of Berthellina as well which can only be identified by looking at thie internal anatomy.
So although, for convenience, I am putting your message on the Berthellina edwardsii Page, no-one can say what it really is just from a photo
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
