[Note added 4 March 2008: This is the new species Nembrotha aurea - see message #21419]
Dear Bill,
Thank you for your advice on my messages every time. I think the animal in Ken-Ichi Ohno's message is Nembrotha purpureolineata. I have attached a photo Nembrotha purpureolineata which I think is similar to Ohno's animal.
Data:
City Tanabe, Prefecture Mie at Kii peninsula, central Japan.
May 05,2002. 21 Degree,Length: 60mm. Depth: -27m.
Best wishes,

Shirai,Y., 2002 (May 30) Nembrotha purpureolineata from Japan. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6950Dear Yasuhiro,
Your photo certainly shows what Ohno's animal will grow into. Our only problem now is sorting out whether Nembrotha purpureolineata and Nembrotha rutilans and the other similarly coloured species ar separate species or colour forms of one species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
