Sim, P., 2003 (Nov 18) Diaphorodoris lirulatocauda? from Canada. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/11256Thanks Paul,
Your photo shows swollen tips to the dorsal papillae, which is not what I would expect to see in Diaphorodoris lirulatocauda. Onchidoris muricata has rounded tips to the tubercles but they seem to be of a rather different nature. I would be grateful for some comments from those of your familar with these animals
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
