Dear Bill,
Concerning the discussion Jorunna parva and J. pardus here are photos of a couple of Jorunna pardus. They were taken in July of 1994 at San Clemente, California. I noticed the Forum didn't have any images of them and I wanted to augment the California inventory. The only externally apparent difference between it and Jorunna parva is the coloration of the gills and the rhinophores.

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for these photos. They are a very welcome addition. I can't see much difference in the rhinophores but as you say the whole of the gill structure in J. pardus is a translucent dark brown while in J. parva and Jorunna sp. 2 the gills are translucent white with dark brown edging.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
