Dear Bill,

In march 2003 my wife visited  Amami Ooshima Islands which are at the northern extreme of the Okinawa Islands. Amongst the 60 kinds of sea slugs we saw in 2.5 days was this species. Is this Trapania toddi?

I would be very happy if I could hear your comment.

Dear Jun,

I am afraid this is another 'lost message' in the Forum backlog. This seems to be a very extreme colour form of the newly described Trapania euryeia. In these animals there are no small white spots in the dark brown patches.

Best wishes
Bill Rudman
