Bielecki, J.P., 2001 (Feb 7) Hermaeopsis variopicta from Spain. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/3723Dear Jean Pierre,
This is another herbivorous sacoglossan sea slug. Although I have never seen it myself I am pretty sure from its brillaint colour pattern that it is Hermaeopsis variopicta.
Best wishes
