Distribution of Hypselodoris krakatoa

February 8, 2003
From: Rebecca Johnson

Hi Bill,
I have been meaning to make a correction in the distribution of Hypselodoris krakatoa for a long time. It was brought to my attention by both Bob Bolland and Liz Kools, the mollusk curatorial assistant here at CAS, shortly after our Hypselodoris paper came out [Gosliner & Johnson, 1999] that we made a mistake in our material examined section for Hypselodoris krakatoa. We had mistakenly listed a specimen of Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa under the H. krakatoa section. So, to make a long story short Hypselodoris krakatoa is not found in Okinawa. Bob Bolland has never seen it or collected it there.
Take care,
Rebecca

Thanks Rebecca,
What do you think of the animal from Hachijo Island? It seems to me to fit into the variation found in H. krakatoa. If so, then it is probably only a matter of time before it is found at Okinawa.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
