Dear Dr. Rudman,
I found this species in Bonotsu, Kagoshima, in southern Japan. This animal seems to be rare in this area.

Mizuho, 2001 (Jan 15) Chromodoris emma from South Japan. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/3517Dear Mizuho,
Thanks for the photo. I think this is a colour form of Hypselodoris emma. It differs from more typical specimens in having a very wide gap between the mantle border and the purple longitudinal lines. It would be interesting to see some other examples from the Japanese region to see how much variation there is in colour pattern
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
