'Dorid from France' is Geitodoris planata
August 26, 2000
From: Juan Lucas Cervera
Dear Bill,
I agree with the comments of Jussi. However, let me tell you that the correct name of the species "planata" is Geitodoris, not Discodoris. This was a mistake introduced by Tom Thompson (see Cervera, Garcia-Gomez and Garcia, 1985, published in J. Moll. Stud.).
Regards.
Lucas.

Cervera, J.L., 2000 (Aug 26) 'Dorid from France' is Geitodoris planata. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/2923Thanks Lucas,
I have moved it to a separate page. Some clearer photos of these larger "flat" dorids that you and your colleagues have reviewed in recent years would be useful additions to the Forum.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
