Bill:
The animal on the Forum known as Doris sp. 10 is now named. It is Aldisa williamsi Elwood, Valdes and Gosliner, 2000, named in recognition of Dr. Gary Williams of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The attached photo by Terry Gosliner is of a paratype from Barracuda Point, Papua New Guinea [CASIZ 109791].

Cheers,
