On the Noumea purpurea Colour Group

December 4, 1999
From: Bill Rudman

I have been preparing for some time some pages on species of Noumea and after receiving Yasuhiro Shirai's photo of Noumea purpurea and Maki Yamamoto's question on Noumea norba etc, I decided to concentrate on the Noumea purpurea Colour Group. Now that much more information is available on Noumea purpurea we can see that it is clearly different from Noumea norba.

I have added a comparative page on the Noumea purpurea Colour Group and added or enhanced the pages on the following species:
•Durvilledoris pusilla
•Noumea varians
•Noumea varians
•Noumea norba
•Pectenodoris trilineata
•Durvilledoris similaris
•Hypselodoris maculosa
•Durvilledoris lemniscata
•Noumea alboannulata
•Chromodoris? sp. 6
•Noumea purpurea

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
