Caribbean Favorinus

Dear Bill:
I notice that a number of competent Branchers knowledgeable about Caribbean species are now participating on the Forum. Maybe one of them can assist with naming this beast. I have not been able to put a name on it. It was collected at an offshore cay in Belize. The photograph was taken by Jeff Hamann.
Thanks

Behrens, D., 2002 (Sep 28) Caribbean Favorinus. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8060Dear Dave,
I would suspect that this is a form of Favorinus auritulus. Although Marcus, Edmunds and Thompson, mention the brown on the lower half of the rhnophores, Colin Redfern, who has seen many specimens, notes that often they don't have any brown on the rhinophores. See my comments on the species Fact Sheet.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
