Koehler, E., 2002 (Feb 2) Janolus capensis from South Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6145Dear Erwin,
I think this is Janolus capensis, which according to Terry Gosliner is one of the common zephyrinids in the Cape Peninsula region of South Africa. There seem to be few external differences between this species and another South African species, Janolus longidentatus Gosliner, 1981, but J. capensis has a white edge to the foot which is visible in Guido's photo.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
