Dear Bill,
To add to the on-going discussion on Philinopsis taronga here is another example from New Zealand.
38mm, on surface of clean sand, ELWS level, Okoromai Bay, Shakespear Reserve, Whangaparoa Peninsula, East Coast, north of Auckland. 28 May 1979. Photo: R. C. Willan.

Thanks Richard,
This is a nice intermediate between Michael Miller's photo in which there is a milky yellow patch in each translucent spot and Paul Furneaux's photo where there is not. This has been a particularly productive couple of weeks on the Forum. from a single photo, we now have a very good series showing the colour range in the species across its geographical range.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
