Hypselodoris zephyra? from North Sulawesi
May 29, 2006
From: Jack Connick
Hi Bill;
Just back from 15 days in North Sulawesi. I shot this in Lemba Strait and believe it might be Hypselodoris zephyra, but could use an expert opinion.
Locality: Lemba Strait, 15 metres, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, Rosario Strait, 05 May 2006, rocky outcropping, sandy bottom. Length: 5". Photographer: Jack Connick.

Connick, J., 2006 (May 29) Hypselodoris zephyra? from North Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/16706Dear Jack,
Yes I would tend to agree with your identification, but as I discuss a number of times on the Forum, the difference between this species, with mainly parallel dark lines and Hypselodoris nigrostriata, with diagonal dark lines, is slight. Your animal, with some diagonal lines illustrates the problem.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
