Dear Dr. Rudman,

Here is a photo of Hypselodoris bilineata (Pruvot-Fol, 1953). This specimen was collected in August, 2000 at the Bay of Algeciras (Strait of Gibraltar, southern Spain) at 17 m depth (19.8ºC), size: 25 mm long., place: El Timoncillo Reef. (Specimen identified by Dr. Ángel Váldes)

Best wishes,
Alma Sánchez.

Thanks Alma,
Another of the blue chromodorids from the Atlantic - Caribbean region. I thought initially that the double median line was a good character, but I see from Ortea et al (1996) that this is not always so, in some cases there being a single line and in others there are multiple longitudinal lines on the central part of the mantle.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
