Re: Three? Halgerda from Japan

Bill,

Atsushi's 5mm Halgerda appears to be H. diaphana.  The only thing we would question might be the size of the spotting on branchia and rhinophores.  I have a number of H. diaphana photos (courtesy of Bob Bolland) and all except the smallest 29mm specimen have fine spotting.  The 29mm specimen has larger spots more widely spaced.

I have included two scans of some not so good shots of H. guahan.

Dear Clay & patty Jo,
Thanks for the photos and for clarifying the juvenile photo.
