Hypselodoris sp from South Africa

From: Valda Fraser


Dear Bill
I have found a "new" one. Unfortunately you cannot see the foot clearly. On each side it has a row of four black spots ringed with white. A black line with a white edging runs above the spots near the body of the animal. The line curves towards the base of the foot at it's rear end. It is not visible as it is covered by the body. I hope you will be able to identify it.

Locality: South Coast, KwaZulu-Natal, SOUTH AFRICA.

Dear Valda,
This one is new to you and new to me. I think it is a species of Hypselodoris. It has similarities to Hypselodoris regina but I don't think its a colour variety of that species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
