Hypselodoris picta from North Carolina

From: Vlad Pambucol
Hello
I found those two nudibranch and I was wondering what is their species. I think they are Hypselodoris picta lajensis. Am I right?
Locality: Beaufort, North C,arolina, 115 ft, USA, Atlantic, 30 July 2006. Length: 3 in. Photographer: Vlad Pambucol.
If I am right I found those off the coast of North Carolina USA not off the coast of Brazil.
Let me know
Vlad

Pambucol, V., 2006 (Aug 19) Hypselodoris picta from North Carolina. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/17485Dear Vlad,
Your animals are the widespread Atlantic chromodorid, Hypselodoris picta. Western Atlantic animals used to be called H. edenticulata, but they are now considered to be a regional colour form of the [see message #13023]. The South American colour form has recently been named H. picta lajensis. From photos on the Forum, I wonder whether it can be distinguished by the lack of yellow lines on the gills. There is still some discussion about whether there is only one species or not, but we can't say anythig very sensible until we know more about the regional colour forms. For most we don't even know which sponge they feed on or what their egg ribbon looks like.
There is a photo on the Forum of an animal from North Carolina [message #10813.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
