Dear Bill:
I found this species in northern Peru. I´m not sure which species it is so i need some help. It was 10-12 mm long and was found intertidally and also at 3 and 5 m depth.
Locality: Tumbes, Peru. August 2005. Photographer: Katia Nakamura
Your opinion will be very helpful.
Thank you.
Katia.

Dear Katia,
From the white speckling on the body and the cerata, and the lamellate rhinophores, I am pretty sure this is Flabellina cynara, If my identification is correct then I think this record is much further south than it has been recorded before.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
