Plakobranchus ocellatus - variation F

June 8, 2005
From: Jun Imamoto


Dear Bill,
I heard from Atsushi and to accompany  his message [#13970] discussing the variations of Plakobranchus ocellatus he has observed at  Kerama Is, I have attached images of a common form seen in Amami-Ooshima Islands in Japan. The photo is of a 9 mm individual but I have also seen 20 mm long individuals wit the same pattern.

Locality: Amami-Ooshima Islands, The Dong Hai, Kagoshima, Japan. Depth: 1 m. Length: 9 mm. 20 Mar 2005. On top of pebbles which have become covered with mud. Photographer: Jun Imamoto

Best Regards,
Jun Imamoto
