Sreeraj, C.R., 2010 (Feb 17) Micromelo undata from the Andaman Islands. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/22968Dear CR,
From the relative size of the shell I would say that this is a juvenile animal. Concerning the name C. guamensis: we previously considered there were two species, C. guamensis in the Indo-West Pacific and C. undata in the tropical Atlantic, but we know consider they are the same so we use the name C. undata because it is the oldest.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
