Chromodoris tinctoria from Sulawesi
June 11, 2002
From: Mary Jane Adams
Hi Bill,
Here are two Chromodoris tinctoria specimens from Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia. The upper one I shot at Pante Parigi on April, 10, 2002. The lower one is from Nudi Falls on April
20, 2002. Neither one of them has a yellow mantle border, but the lower one has a couple of yellow spots on the tail end of its foot.
They were about 30-35 mm long.
Best regards,
Mary Jane

Adams, M J., 2002 (Jun 11) Chromodoris tinctoria from Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6914Thanks Mary Jane,
This form without a yellow border was as far back as 1832 considered a a separate species Doris reticulata Quoy & Gaimard, from animals they collected in New Guinea. However we now consider this to be one quite variable species, with much of the variation scattered through the many messages on the Forum.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
