Hi Bill,

I believe this is some kind of Halgerda  but I'm not sure. Can you help me with the ID?

Locality: Ponta do Ouro, 16 meters, Mozambique, Indian Ocean, 1 November 2007, sand with rocky patches. Length: ~25mm. Photographer: David Abecasis & Rita Abecasis.

Greetings,

Dear David,

I'm afraid you are not the only one unsure about some of these Halgerda species. At the moment I am considering this a dark colour form of H. wasinensis  but I have doubts. This form has black patches between the yellow ridges and the gills are white or colourless in the basal half while the upper half is lined with black. At present we have records of this form from Mozambique and Sth Africa.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
