Sann Chan, K., 2002 (Apr 24) Dermatobranchus from Malaysia. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6750

Note added 10 Feb. 2003: This has been identified as Dermatobranchus gonatophora.

Dear Kheong,
This has similarities Dermatobranchus nigropunctatus Baba, 1949, but in that species there are a series of black specks along the dorsal ridges not black lines. I don't know of any published record of your animal so it may be another unnamed species
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
