Bill:
Since you have been discussing species of Cuthona lately, I thought I'd send you Cuthona hamanni, named after Brancher buddy, Jeff Hamann, of El Cajon, California. This photo was taken by another Brancher buddy, Jim Lance, at South Casa Reef, La Jolla, California.

Dear Dave,
Thanks for filling in another gap. At least in your part of the world, the number of species of Cuthona seems manageable. In SE Australia we seem to have a few endemics and the potential to meet any species which lives in the Indo-west Pacific, so I suspect it will be many years before we sort them out as we never seem to find any species in large numbers or with any regularity.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
