Risbecia from Solomon Ids?
January 8, 2001
From: Bruce Potter
Dear Bill,
I have followed the debate about Risbecia imperialis/godeffroyana and am still somewhat confused. I have found several around Honiara, in the Solomon Islands, and they all look like this one. Is it R. imperialis or R. godeffroyana?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Bruce Potter.

At this stage all I can do is refer you to my message to Mary Jane Adams. Basically I put the two species together hoping to stimulate some discussion. However since the Forum is also used as an identification guide this is very confusing for people like you. When I get a chance I will split them in two again. So call your animal R. godeffroyana.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
Note added 9 Jan 2001: R. imperialis and R. godeffroyana have previously been considered on the Forum to be colour forms of one species. They are now separated as two species, this animal being R. godeffroyana .
