Dondice occidentalis? from Jamaica
October 20, 2003
From: Ross W. Gundersen
Dear Bill:
Here is another sea slug from Jamaica. As I said in my first message, all specimens were collected from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, West Indies. Most specimens were collected using a light weight dredge and photographed by R. Gundersen.
I think it is Phidiana lynceus. Dredged at 5 m depth in Thallassia.
Best wishes,
Ross

Gundersen, R.W., 2003 (Oct 20) Dondice occidentalis? from Jamaica. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/11257Dear Ross,
It is difficult to be sure from a small photo and from its proportions, probably a juvenile animal but I think this is probably Dondice occidentalis. The orange lines on the head are characteristic and their are signs of some ridges on the rhinophores.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
