Hi Bill,
I was just reading this and realised you asked me a question. Only about a year and a half late!
The molecular studies were by Christine Morrow and led on to the description of Doto sarsiae and Doto hydrallmaniae, which was published in MEPS, 84. (online here http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v84/ )
The work on Eubranchus was really a negative result, so not published! I agree with your comments about using some DNA sequencing as that was done with allozymes.
Looking at the pictures I do think E. linensis is different to any variety of E. farrani I've ever seen, and the E. farrani colour varieties are often in a big group feeding and mating together, so must be colour varieties, I think.
