Trapania darvelli? from the Solomons

Dear Bill,
I found this very small nudibranch a few weeks ago [January 2002], and have not been able to identify it. It was only about 10mm long. It moved around quite actively. It was at about 8 meters, on a coral and rubble site on the outskirts of Honiara, Solomon Islands.
Regards
Bruce Potter.

I think this could possibly be Trapania darvelli. I can't see the paired dorsal processes alongside the gills and rhinophores so I could be quite wrong but that would be my first guess. If it is that species it wpould be the first record outside Hong Kong
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
