Spurilla neapolitana - distribution

June 5, 1999
From: Orso Angulo

Hi Bill
I'm a student of marine biology in La Paz, Baja California Sur (Mexico). Searching in the past messages of the Forum I found that S. neapolitana is only cited for Atlantic, from Brazil to Florida and the Mediterranean. I must tell you that it is also reported for the east Pacific, Basically in Baja. I recommend that anybody who is interested get a view of the work of Skoglund, 1991 in which she makes an update of the literature from 1971 to 1990. It is based on Keen, 1971.

Dear Orso,
Thanks for the information. Could you give me a full reference to Skoglund's review please?
I have hunted down what I presume is the first reference which is;
Bertsch, H. (1979) Tropical Faunal affinities of opisthobranchs from the Panamic province (eastern Pacific). Nautilus, 93(2-3): 57-61.

If you have photos or observations on this nudibranch, or any other Sea Slug from your part of the world I would love to put them on the Forum.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
