Poddubetskaia, M., 2002 (Jul 17) Berthella stellata from French Mediterranean. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/7477Dear Marina,
Berthella stellata was first described from the Mediterranean, and is now considered to be a circumglobal species. In the Mediterranean it ranges from this translucent white colour to yellow, but always has some traces of the opaque white star pattern in the centre of the body, on which its name is based.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
