Hi Bill,
I don't get much time to follow the Forum these days so I'd missed several species where you were looking for an opinion.
I think the Eubranchus from France, is Eubranchus pallidus - quite variable in the amount of pigment on its body, Alder & Hancock wanted to rename it 'picta' as the later examples they saw were far from pallid! On the other hand I did once have a specimen a bit like this which I was very doubtful about - I'll see if I can find the photos. The one I have on my website is a big fat dark-coloured one.

It's good to remove a few from the 'unidentified' file.
Best wishes,
