Another photo of Siphopteron sp. 2.

Dear Bill,

Siphopteron sp.2 is very similar to Siphopteron sp.1 but lacks the orange tip found in Siphopteron sp.1.

They may be the same species. But I have never seen a middle type. Siphopteron sp.2 has no color mark, it is only white.

Sincerely,
Atsushi Ono

Dear Atsushi,
This photo also shows the absence of a siphonal ridge, suggesting it will probably turn out to be a species of Gastropteron when specimens are examined.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
