Another Elysia sp from Kerama Is., Japan

From: Atsushi Ono

Dear Bill,
Could you help me with another opisthobranch from Kerama Island, near Okinawa.

I think this is an Elysia sp. 5m depth, 15mm length, in May 1999, I observed 3 individuals. Their size are about 10 to 15mm.

Sincereiy,
Atsushi Ono

Dear Atsushi,
I'm afraid there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of Elysia-like sacoglossans. I'm afraid it is another species I don't recognise and I can't fit it to any earlier description from Japan. The white streaks and the red-orange spots should be useful external characters.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
