January 30, 2000
From: Yasuhiro Shirai


Dear Bill,
Thank you for your quick reply every time.
This time, I have attached 2 files.
I think this is Aplysiopsis sp. as found in Mr.Ono's opisthobranch guide book page -41.
What do you think about it?
Could you please identify this animal for me.

Data:
Location: Shima Pref. Mie Japan (Kii Peninsula east coast)
Length: 15mm
Water temperature: 13C
Date Jan. 2000
Depth: 3m
Crawling on sandy bottom.

Best regards,
Yasuhiro Shirai

Dear Yasuhiro,
I am unfamiliar with this species. It could quite possibly be a species of Aplysiopsis but I am not sure. Perhaps a sacoglossan expert can help us.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
