Hypselodoris regina from South Africa

February 16, 2004
From: Charles Rowe


Hi Bill,
These are obviously the same species but were in different places on the same dive.

7 Mile Reef, Sodwana, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. 7 January 2004.

Thanks for identifying my latest batch of nudis, I really appreciate the effort you put into it. These are my latest ones so until I photograph more they are the last for now. Hopefully I will get to dive this weekend as conditions are a little
better now.
See ya.

Dear Charles,
These are a nice find. It is Hypselodoris regina, a species which has seldom been reported since it was first described from Madagascar. I found some specimens in Tanzania in the 1970s, and Valda Fraser found one in KwaZulu Natal more recently [#1722], but I know of no other records.
Best wishes
