Elysia papillosa from Cape Verde Islands
August 26, 2003
From: Gérard Breton
Dear Bill,
Here is another message from my dive trip between 22 - 30 March 2003 to two islands of the Cape Verde archipelago: Sal and Fogo.
Here are some photos of Elysia papillosa from Sal, Palmeira natural harbour, - 1m, grazing on tiny filamentous algae and diatoms.

Breton, G., 2003 (Aug 26) Elysia papillosa from Cape Verde Islands. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/10757Thanks Gerard,
It certainly looks like E. papillosa from the Caribbean, but as we have recently seen with Elysia tomentosa there are a number of species with papillae like this and identifying them is quite a problem. Perhaps Kathe Jensen will be able to confirm the identification for us
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
