Rhinophores of Japanese Aeolidiopsis

Dear Bill,
Thanks for the information about Aeolidiopsis. Concerning the shape of the rhinophores, here are some closeups of the heads of the brown speckled form. Sorry but I haven't a good photo showing the head in the white one. The upper right photo was taken on the 21 July 2002. The other two are from earlier photos.
Best Regards,
Nishina Masayoshi

Thanks Nishina,
The rhinophores are clearly smooth, which suggests, as I thought, that they are Aeolidiopsis ransoni.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
