Dear Bill and Marina,
Concerning the photo from Senegal. Until your message there were no records of Flabellina babai from western Africa.

We are gradually learning more about this fauna. Elysia timida and Phyllidia flava were previously considered to be Mediterranean species only. However, both have been recorded from the Canary Islands so will almost certainly be found on the west African coast. Another species, Piseinotecus gaditanus was described from the Atlantic Andalusian coast (i.e. Atlantic southern Iberian peninsula). It has sine been recorded from Portugal, Mediterranean Andalusian coasts and Cape Verde Archipelago.
Regards.
Lucas.
