Dear Erwin,
Thanks for stirring my conscience enough to make this change. I have been meaning to but have given the growing list of messages a higher priority.

The recent paper by Shireen & Terry describes three more white and orange species of Halgerda and I gather there are more orange species yet to be published. If Terry or Shireen would like to send photos of the other two species, H. bacalusia and H. diaphana to the Forum I would be happy to add them.

Reference: Fahey, S.J. & Gosliner, T.M. Preliminary Phylogeny of Halgerda (Nudibranchia: Halgerdidae) from the tropical Indo-Pacific, with descriptions of three new species. Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, 51(11): 424-448.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
