Kitagawa, S., 2004 (Mar 19) Pseudobornella orientalis from Philippines. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/12463Dear Shinji,
It is difficult to be sure of the shape of the 'cerata' or 'papillae' on the back, as they are so transparent but I am pretty sure this is Pseudobornella orientalis. If, so it is a very interesting find as that species is only known from a few sightings in Japan. This is the first record of it outside Japan. Best wishes
Bill Rudman
