Chromodoris obsoleta from Sudan

August 5, 2004
From: Bill Rudman


To accompany Tony Reavill's photos of the rarely found Chromodoris obsoleta from [message #12729], here is a record from the Sudanese Red Sea. The specimen was kindly given to me by Dr C.D. Todd who collected during the British Suakin Expedition to the Sudanese Red Sea.

Locality: Suakin, Sudan, Red Sea, 25 April 1980, 17mm long alive. AM C131569. PHOTO: Chris Todd.

The colour is much the same as in Tony Reavill's specimens. I have posted a description of the radula morphology in a separate message [#12734].
