From: Alicia Hermosillo


Dear Bill,
Here is a photo of Flabellina marcusorum from 24 feet deep in Playa Mismaloya, Bahia de Banderas, states of Jalisco and Nayarit, Mexico [Pacific coast]. March, 2002
9 mm long.

This particular picture shows very clearly the structure of the rhinophores.

Dear Ali,
Thanks very much. This is a much more colourful example than Phanor's animal from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It has colour similarities to the sympatric Flabellina telja, but that species had lamellate rhinophores.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
