Elysia abei and E. amakusana
September 13, 2002
From: Yoshiaki J. Hirano
Dear Bill,
Concerning the recent topics on species identities of Elysia abei and E. amakusana, my student and I have reached the same conclusion that they are probably conspecific. We have been working on the two forms to find out what is responsible for the colour difference. Yes, the two readily copulate, we have confirmed it. We are hoping to present the result at the next meeting of the Malacological Society of Japan.
Best wishes,
Yoshi

Thanks for letting us know. I look forward to seeing your work published. It will be good to see some evidence.
