Lagerberg, P., 2007 (Oct 17) Chromodorid from Bonaire. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20967Dear Per,
This species is on the Forum from Bonaire as Hypselodoris sp 5 [#9824] but it is also identified as H. bayeri. I am afraid it is one of a group of Caribbean species which were not well defined when they were first named. As we know very little about their colour variability it is still almost impossible to decide how many species there are. Other possible names are H. marci and perhaps H. acriba.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
