Hi Dr. Rudman,
I apologize for the delay, attached are pictures taken yesterday of the tail. What appeared to have been a notch is a segment of the tail without particular pigmentation. Photographer: Janet Hanson.

What I was interested in finding out was whether there was a notch or a raised crest on the posterior tip of the foot. Since your earlier photos were all taken from directly above I couldn't be sure. Janet's photo show that there is indeed a raised crest. This is a very interesting structure as I can't think of another species of Polycera with such a feature.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
