Concerning message #7576:

Hello Bill,

I suppose this is Diaphorodoris luteocincta var alba?. Any news about the distinction on varieties or different species ? Anyway, this another very nice slug and I'm happy to share these pictures on the forum.

Locality: Cannes, 20m, France, Mediterranean sea, 13/05/2007. Length: 5-6 mm. Photographer: Dominique HORST.

As in my previous message about D. papillata, [#20020 ] the same eyes can be observed at the transparent base of the rhinophores.

Kind regards,
Dominique

Dear Dom,

I am not sure if I expect any news soon on whether this is a variety or a separate species. I agree with Bernard Picton's feelings [message #4838] that there is probably more than one species, but I don't know of any one working on the problem.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
