Plakobranchus ocellatus - variation D

June 8, 2005
From: Atsushi Ono


In a separate message [#13970] I discuss the variations of Plakobranchus ocellatus I have observed at  Kerama Is. They seem to be divided into five forms. Here are photos of  Form D.  I think that the pattern of foot is especially important and I think that these different 'forms' suggest more research is required to determine how many species there actually are.

The other colour variations are posted as separate messages:
Var. A = message #13979
Var. B = message #13980
Var. C = message #13981
Var. E = message #13983
Var. F = message #13878

Sincerely,
Atsushi Ono
