Name Change of Halgerda punctata
November 18, 1999
From: Ernest C.J. Seamark
Note added 7 January 2004. This is almost certainly a form of H. wasinensis. See relevant discussion.
Dear Bill,
According to the recent ANEWS Shireen J. Fahey and Terry Gosliner have ID Halgerda punctata as that of Halgerda formosa Bergh, 1880. Therefore Halgerda punctata in the present species list is H. formosa.
Thanks

Seamark, E.C.J., 1999 (Nov 18) Name Change of Halgerda punctata. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/1547Dear Ernest,
A couple of days ago I mentioned the name change while discussing Valda Fraser's message about Halgerda toliari. I'm afraid I had not had time to change the name on your photo of Halgerda punctata - formosa already on the site so thanks for drawing my attention to it.
Bill Rudman.
