Chromodoris orientalis from Taiwan

Hi Bill,
Lovely to see Leslie Chan's excellent photos from Hong Kong appearing on the site. I'd been meaning to send Chromodoris orientalis as it hadn't been added to the Forum until recently. It was common in Hong Kong in April 1983 when I collected there.

Here are two photographs showing the species in Taiwan, March 1983. The first photo shows the mantle glands very clearly and the texture of the surface.

Thanks Bernard,
This is another interesting record. As you say it is certainly good to get Leslie's photos. They have been the catalyst for me to start adding information from Brian Darvell's collections to the Forum, which I had been promising to do for some months.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
