Hypselodoris nigrostriata from New Guinea

Hi Bill,

Attached is a pic which you identified years ago as Nembrotha sp. 30-50mm long, 9m May 1985. Cathies Corner, Milne Bay, New Guinea.
Any further development beyond sp?

Dear Wayne,
I looked through my files and found another photo of yours which seem to be of the same animals. If I said Nembrotha I must have been having a bad day, as your animal is Hypselodoris nigrostriata. It is one of a group of species of Hypselodoris in which the body has indeed taken on the look of a nembrothid, with a narrowing of the mantle skirt and a heightening of the body. With further study we may decide that the Indian Ocean and Pacific colour forms are consistently different enough to consider separate species but more material from the Indonesian Archipelago and up to Thailand will need to be studied.
Bill Rudman.
