Jorunna tomentosa from Portugal
March 2, 2004
From: Joao Pedro Silva
Dear Bill,
I found this nudibranch last weekend in Baleal, Portugal. At first it looked like Cadlina pellucida but the rhinophores were not so dark. Also there were so markings on the body which didn't fit Cadlina pelucida's description. It was aprox. 1cm long, maybe less.
At this moment I have absolutely no idea of what this may be. Could it be some other species of the Cadlina genus?
All the best,
Joao Pedro

Silva, J.P., 2004 (Mar 2) Jorunna tomentosa from Portugal. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/12350Dear Joao Pedro,
Form the 'furry' nature of the mantle this is almost certainly a species of Rostanga or Jorunna. Form its colour I am pretty sure itis the common Jorunna tomentosa.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
