Diaphorodoris luteocincta from Portugal

April 23, 2008
From: Joao Pedro Silva

Dear Bill,

When I first saw this I thought it was a small Chromodoris purpurea. Only when I looked at the photos on the computer screen I noticed one major flaw on the ID: the rhinophores and branchia were white. It looks like the "alba" variant of Diaphorodoris luteocincta but as it's a first for me I'd like a confirmation on the ID.

Locality: Sesimbra, 10 m, Portugal, North Atlantic, 20 September 2007, Rocky bottom. Length: aprox. 1 cm. Photographer: Joao Pedro Silva.


Cheers,
Joao Pedro
