Diaphorodoris luteocincta from Croatia

June 10, 2006
From: Andrej Jaklin

Dear Bill,
This Diaphorodoris luteocincta should be a new one for the Adriatic nudibranch fauna.

Unfortunately I can't give you any details as I found it on the front aquarium glass at the entrance to the Institute. Only I know is it was hidden somewhere with the material collected around Rovinj.

Locality: Rovinj, Croatia, Northern Adriatic, 13 May 2006. Length: 9 mm. Photographer: Andrej Jaklin.

The attached picture is of very poor quality but I hope it can be taken as proof that the species was really found.
Best regards,
aj

Dear Andrej,
It certainly looks real to me. It's good we have so many pairs of eyes out looking. I guess since we have records on the Forum from Turkey, we could predict it would be found in the Adriatic, but it is nice to actually make the prediction come true.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
