Dear Bill,
I notice that you have only one record on the forum for Platydoris sp 4. I found this specimen at my favourite nudibranch site just on the outskirts of Honiara. It was a night dive in June of last year. It was about 30mm long and found at 8 meters depth.

Locality: Honiara, Solomon Islands, Pacific Ocean. Depth: 8 meters. Length: 30 mm.June 2005. coral, rubble, sand. Photographer: Bruce Potter

This is a coral and rubble site with lots of sponges weeds and algae.
Regards,
Bruce Potter

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for this. I don't think this species has been named recently but hopefully if it has, someone will let me know. It certainly appear to have caryophyllidia on the mantle.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
