Padula, V., 2007 (Sep 22) Dendrodoris from Brazil [2]. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20760Thanks Vinicius,
If you have more than one species, the egg ribbon may be a useful clue. Certainly the egg ribbon, size of eggs, etc are proving useful in separtaing at least some of the Indo-West Pacific forms. When I get a moment I mean to prepare a page on Dendrodoris arborescens which Brodie & Calado (2006) consider distinct.
- Brodie, G.D. & Calado, G. 2006. Dendrodoris arborescens (Collingwood, 1881) (Mollusca: Nudibranchia): larval characterstics reveal a masked porostome species. Records of the Western Australian Museum Suppl. 69: 119-126.
Best wishes,
