Flabellina fusca or triopha?

October 15, 2001
From: Marli Wakeling

Hi Bill,
I was aware that Flabellina fusca was once named Coryphella fusca. However, I have just found a new marine life ID book that lists it as Flabellina triopha. Perhaps someone can clarify this.

Renamed Flabellina trophina - see 18 April 2003 message.

Dear Marli,
Has the book no references? There was flabellinid described from Alaska by Bergh, Himatella trophina Bergh, 1894, but I don't know if anyone has decided the two are the same. Perhaps Sandra Millen can help us out
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
