Chromodoris luteorosea from Pantelleria Is., Italy

Dear Mr. Rudman
Here some pictures about what I think it's Chromodoris luteorosea.

There are two different slugs in the photos. The animal in the upper photo was taken on 06 September 2007, and the other two are pictures taken of another animal, pictured 3 days later, at the same spot.

Locality: Il Faraglione, Cala Levante, 28 meters, Pantelleria Island, Italy, Mediterranean Sea, 06 September 2007. Length: 15-20 mm. Photographer: Jordi Regàs.

Dear Jordi,
Thanks for these photos. Yes this is C. luteorosea. One colour chracter which seems to distinguish this species from C. luteopunctata is that there is a white line or zone between the outer yellow mantle margin and the blue and purple of the rest of the mantle which is absent in C. luteopunctata.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
