Noumea simplex from Okinawa

October 9, 1999
From: Bob Bolland


Hi Bill,

I've enclosed 4 (relatively poor quality) JPEGs of two different Noumea species, along with some of the associated collection data. I was hoping that you might perhaps feature a series of Noumea species on the site, when you can find the time to do so. Really appreciate your featuring entire groups, as with the recent Phyllidiella series.

Are these two Noumea simplex?

UPPER: Horseshoe Cliffs, Okinawa (original photo at 1.5:1); TL: 12mm; from 30m; 3 April, 1992 (RFB2952-C)

LOWER: Horseshoe Cliffs, Okinawa (original photo at 2.8:1); Notum: 10mm; from 9m; 29 March 1997. (RFB3571-A)

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks Bob,
I can certainly put some Noumea species on the list. As you suggest, I think this is a white form of Noumea simplex. When I get myNoumea material organised I will add some photos of its colour range from white to pink.

I have put your other two photos as a separate message.
