Cerberilla ambonensis? from the Solomon Is.

Hi Bill,

Here's the promised scan of Cerberilla sp from Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. This animal was found crawling on the surface of the sand at night, and I think it measured around 50mm.

Dear Scott,
Thanks for the photo. I think this is probably Cerberilla ambonensis, but we need more material to be sure just what that species is. I suspect the dark grey or black transverse lines on the foot are the most useful external character but I guess only time will tell.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
