Dear Dr Rudman

For your Forum, I send you 2 photos of Diaphorodoris luteocincta (Sars M 1870), which I took at the Baie de Peyrefitte (Mediterranean French/Spanish frontier)
UPPER PHOTO: Diaphorodoris luteocincta var alba (Portmann & Sandmeier 1960) was found at 6m depth, size 12 mm
LOWER PHOTO: Diaphorodoris luteocincta var reticulata (Portmann & Sandmeier 1960) was at 3m depth, size 5 mm.

Best wishes

Thanks Patrick,
This species is quite variable in colour. Portmann & Sandmeier's variety names don't seem to have been accepted by subsequent workers. I see Schmekel & Portmann (1982) don't use them, and Thompson & Brown (1984) report finding a gradation from one 'variety' to the other in southern England.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
