Chromodoris joshi

I really doubt my opinion about this species. I assume that it belong to Chromodoris africana Eliot, 1904. The assumption only based on lack of white band at the edge of the notum.
They are from the reef at Penjaliran Barat Island, Thousand Islands, Indonesia.
Thankyou for any advice

Not a bad stab at an identification. I had wondered whether it was a form of Chromodoris africana for some years. It was only this year that Gosliner & Behrens decided that it was a distinct species. ... Bill Rudman.
