Elysia bennettae from Lord Howe Island

January 26, 2003
From: W.B. Rudman

Here is a photo record from Ian Hutton of an animal I am tentatively identifying as Elysia bennettae from Lord Howe Island.

Location: Middle Beach.

It is possibly a different species, because it has quite distinctive light patching along the parapodial edge. Interestingly in a photos of mine show an animal from northern New South Wales, with identical markings. The marine fauna of Lord Howe Island has close similarities to the fauna of the New South Wales section of eastern Australia.
