Chromodoris elisabethina from Sulawesi
November 19, 1998
From: Lindsay Warren
Dear Bill
Have just returned from three months once again working with Operation Wallacea on Pulau Hoga in the Tukang Besi Islands off SE Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Could you help us identify this photo? The left one probably a Chromodoris elisabethina and the right one possibly a Ch. annae.
We have found many specimens with varying colour patterns which seem related to either Ch. annae or C. elisabethina and I will forward these to you as soon as they have been scanned in.
Many thanks,
Lindsay Warren

As I commented under Ch. annae, your identifications are probably correct, although the left one could possibly be C. annae as well, if the hint of a blue punctate pattern which shows at the anterior end of the animal (in the photo) is real, and not just an artifact of the scanning process.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
