Lindsay Warren's Elysia sp. 1

Bill,
Just looking at Lindsay Warren's Elysia sp. 1. The colored stripes on the head would suggest T. livida. We have pale forms with brownish-purple sides and pale rhinophores; not white though.

Thanks Clay,
I see I said that it was 'definitely' a species of Elysia. Actually Shouichi Kato's photo in which the black background pigment is very translucent, is a good intermediate step between Lindsay's description and more 'typical' specimens.

Thanks for clearing up another unknown
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
