Dear Bill,

After seeing the shots off Diaphorodoris mitsuii on the Forum, we remember having a picture from Lembeh (Indonesia) looking very much the same : please can you tell us if this is another color form of the same species.

Locality: Indonesia, North Sulawesi, Lembeh-Strait, 14 m, Indonesia, North Sulawesi, 04 October 2005, Reef. Length: 5-7 mm. Photographer: Francis Pellet.

Thank you very much
Francis & Pirjo Pellet

Dear Francis & Pirjo,

This is an interesting find. It is ceratinly a species of Diaphorodoris but I havent seen a specimen of D. mitsuii in which the red line is right at the edge of the mantle rather than submarginal. I guess we will have to wait until more specimens are found in the Indonesian region

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
