Hypselodoris alboterminata from Hawaii

From: Scott Johnson
Hi Bill,
Continuing with some Hawaiian Hypselodoris species, here are two pictures of the animal Hans Bertsch and I called "white dots" in Hawaiian Nudibranchs. It was described last year as H. alboterminata. These small animals occur throughout the Hawaiian Islands; I've found specimens from the island of Hawaii at the southeastern end of the Hawaiian chain all the way out to Kure Atoll at the northwestern tip. Considering the numbers found per unit of search time, it would seem they are more common at Kure than around the main Hawaiian Islands, although they are found with some regularity around Oahu.
