Happy New Year Bill,
Concerning Alicia's message. Here is the only other image I have of the 12mm sea hares I previously posted. I thought the rear ends of these had the distinctive "cut off" look of more mature Dolabella. None of them exhibited any swimming motion. Tekat Larry, Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi Island,
Indonesia. Nov. 19, 2002.
Best regards,
Mary Jane

Adams, M.J., 2003 (Jan 2) Re: Dolabella juveniles. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8772Thanks Mary Jane,
From this dorsal photo I agree that they are almost certainly juvenile Dolabella. They are obviously crawling along on a very broad foot, while in Notarchus the foot is very narrow, and in the bottom right animal, the brown line seems to indicate the parapodial slit between the separate inhalent and exhalent siphons found in Dolabella. I don't know if that means Alicia's animal is also Dolabella. Perhaps the pointed tubercles with white cores, which make both your animals and Alicia's look so similar, are a common juvenile feature.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
