Tait, M, 2005 (Jul 18) Hypselodoris saintvincentius mating.. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14263Dear Mick,
This is not Hypselodoris infucata but a related species, Hypselodoris santvincentius, known only from South Australia and southwestern Western Australia. Its nice to get another record of it from Western Australia
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
