Tritoniopsis? from Indonesia
February 12, 2003

Dear Bill,
It looks very much like the Tritoniopsis elegans in Neville Colman's book [1001 Nudibranchs], but less like this species as shown on Sea Slug Forum.
Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Depth 20m. Length: 5 to 6cm. November 2001. [#c29]
Thanks.

Danna, P., 2003 (Feb 12) Tritoniopsis? from Indonesia. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/9140This species has now been named Tritonia bollandi. - Note added 16 Aug 2003
Dear Pat,
It has some similarities to the white form of Tritoniopsis elegans but in that species the gill braches are proportionally smaller and more delicate, as are the papillae on the oral veil. We still have a way to go sorting out the Indo-West Pacific tritoniids so at present I will call your animal Tritoniid sp. 8.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
