Thorunna horologia from Reunion island

Dear Bill,
Reunion Island sea slugs.
In your Forum, you say that this animal has only been reported from Tanzania and northeastern South Africa. We have found one specimen (Observed & photographed by Maurice Jay) which seems to be a specimen of Thorunna horologia
Best Regards

Bidgrain, P., 2005 (Jun 17) Thorunna horologia from Reunion island. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14035Dear Philibert,
This certainly seems to be T. horologia. It will be interesting to see if records remain confined to the western Indian Ocean or whether it has a wider distribution. Species of Thorunna are relatively small so I suspect they are often missed or overlooked by all but the most diligent.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
