Berthella cf. africana from the Marshall Islands
September 13, 2002
From: Scott Johnson
Note added 13 January 2009: This is Pleurobranchus caledonicus Risbec, 1928, which is most probably a species of Berthella.
Hi Bill,
Attached are three photos of a species of Berthella from the Marshall Ids to accompany those I sent from Hawaii. These three specimens ranged from 17mm (lower left) to 55mm (upper right).

Thanks Scott,
They certainly look like the original paintings of the Atlantic species B. africana.
