Flabellina babai from Croatia

April 14, 2006
From: Andrej Jaklin

Dear Bill,
Here are two photos of Flabellina babai from the Adriatic Sea. As far as I know, there was no previous record from this part of the Mediterranean, the closest being southern Italy and Turkey.

Locality: Lumbarda, Korcula Island, 37 m, Croatia, Adriatic Sea, unknown, rocky outcrop. Length: cca 40 mm. Photographer: Miljenko Marukic.

Best regards,

Dear Andrej,

Yes this seems to fill a gap in its known distribution. It seems to be a quite rare species but we are gradually getting to know the extent of its distribution through reports such as yours.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
