From: Roberto Sozzani

Dear Bill,
I have followed your Forum for a long time It is of great help for me. Now I need some more help, I've a lot of subjects I can't identify.

I start with this one, shot in Pandar Island (near Rinja Is. - Komodo Ids, Indonesia) on Feb. 2003. It was at about 12 meters. His size about 6 or 7cm.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Robert,
I am glad the Forum is of value to you. This is an interesting find, especially as I am posting a message today about Chromodoris mandapamensis. Your animal is a form of Chromodoris striatella in which some of the black lines have broken into a line of spots. I would consider this to be an intermediate between the lined C. striatella and the spotted Chromodoris mandapamensis. I have seen animals like this in New Caledonia, but unfortunately my photos failed so it is good to get your photographic evidence. I have been placing 'spotted' animals on a spotted Chromodoris striatella Page, but I think I will treat your animal as a lined form with some spots.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
