From: Bruce Wight

Here is type of Doto I need your help with. It is one of the nudibranchs we saw racently at San Miguel Island, California (July 2002). They were very common on the coralline algae at Wilson's Rock. The lower right photo shows two animals mating.
Thanks,

Dear Bruce,
At a guess I would say this is Doto amyra. It is the only Doto from the Nth American west coast I know of that doesn't have any dark pigmentation. I would appreciate confirmation of this identifcation from local experts
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
