Dear Bill,
I took this shot of a dorid in a night dive in Sorrento (Naples), i found it under a stone! I think it is Geitodoris portmanni, but i'm not sure!
It has white rhinophores and gills, but i can't see the darker area on the dorsal surface!!!
Locality: Punta Circe, Sorrento (Naples), Italy. Tirrenian Sea. Depth: 6 meters. Length: 10 mm. 15 December 2005. Muddy. Photographer: Fabio Russo

Russo, F., 2006 (Feb 6) Geitodoris portmanni (?) from Sorrento. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/15692Dear Fabio,
It reminds me of Geitodoris planata but some of these dorids are difficult to identify from photographs even for prople with with local knowledge of the fauna. Let's hope that someone with a personal knowledge of the Mediterranean fauna can help us.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
