Chromodoris lochi from Sulawesi

October 4, 2001
From: Jim Anderson

Dear Dr. Rudman,
I have been classifying images such as the attached as C. dianae on my new Sulawesi Sea Slugs site. Erwin Koehler has suggested that 02 and 03 are C. lochi . The attached has been in the wars it would appear, but was still going about its business. Please advise.

Kind regards,
Jim Anderson

Dear Jim,
Animals from the Malay/Indonesian Arc tend to be more blue than those from the Pacific, but I still think they are all Chromodoris lochi. In C. dianae the black is arranged differently and the background colour has a punctate pattern suggesting the skin is covered in small pits.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
