Colour variation in Thecacera picta
November 13, 1998
From: Clay Bryce
Dear Bill,
I thought these pictures [see top of page]of Thecacera picta from Western Australia may be of interest. Nathalie Yonow's species T. vittata seems to be a synonym falling within this colour range. I have other shots showing a range of pattern variation.
All the best,

Bryce, C., 1998 (Nov 13) Colour variation in Thecacera picta. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/302Thanks Clay,
Anyone got any comments? As with the discussion we are having about the range of colour variation in Thorunna florens , this is another example of how valuable it is to build up information about colour variation both within a geographic locality and throughout the range of a "species". ..
