Dear Deepak,

This is an interesting find. Originally reported from Thailand, and quite recently from eastern Australia, I think yours is the first discovery of the species from anywhere west of Thailand. It is a little ironic that just as I have been discussing possible colour variation in Elysia hirasei from India and Japan [see message #22747] you provide us with an example of an Elysia which shows no obvious colour variation from India down to eastern Australia.

 Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
