Hypselodoris orsinii from French Mediterranean

From: Marina Poddubetskaia


Dear Bill,
Could you confirm, please, the identification of this blue doris. I think it's Hypselodoris orsinii. During spring this nudibranch is very common and could be found everywhere in French Mediterranean.

• Upper:
Cap Croisette (near Marseille), France. Site : Passe de Maire. Depth: 12-15m, Size: about 1 cm. June 03, 2002.
• Lower:
Cap Croisette (near Marseille), France. Site: Pierre qui tramole. Depth: 16m. Size: about 1 cm. June 04, 2002.

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
I am pretty sure the uniform blue gills and rhinophores, the submarginal white/yellow mantle border, and the single median white line, are characteristic of this species, but I will wait for confirmation from a local expert.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
