Philinopsis taronga from Jervis Bay
May 26, 2003
From: Sue Newson
Hi Bill,
I was looking at your recent messages on Philinopsis taronga & thought you might like a photo of the one we find in Jervis Bay [New South Wales, Australia]. This photo was taken at a site called The Sandline Drop Off at a depth of 12m. 16 November 2002 at 3pm.
I found it on sand in a stingray 'outline'. It was about 20cm away from another species, Euselenops luniceps, which I have sent in a separate message.

Newson, S., 2003 (May 26) Philinopsis taronga from Jervis Bay. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/9991Thanks Sue,
Your photo shows the median white line and flanking yellow lines on the front of the headshield very well. I am not sure why it was sitting with its parapodia lying flattened out [what you describe as it 'stingray outline'], they are usually held against the sides of the body.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
