Seragaki, Okinawa, 67m, 2 July, 1995, notal length 39mm.

'The translucent notum, covered with small, dense, white, irregular pustules, serve to make this attractive dorid distinctively unique from all other Glossodoris species found on Okinawa.' ... Bob Bolland

Dear Bill,
I think this Glossodoris and the Glossodoris sp. 4 on Robert F. Bolland's website are the same.
It was found in Hachijyo Island too.

Note added August 2002: this is Glossodoris sp. 2.

Dear Nishina & Chikako,
This certainly looks to be the same species. It has similarities to Glossodoris tomsmithi and the Forum's Glossodoris sp. 8
Best wishes,

Another Glossodoris from Okinawa

From: Bob Bolland

Hi Bill,

Here is a second undescribed(?) Glossodoris from Okinawa. It differs from the other in lacking any red and yellow colouration.

It was collected at 67m from Seragaki, Okinawa on 2 July, 1995, notal length 39mm . . . I've collected sixteen or so of these. For further comments and full collection information see relevant page on my Okinawa website at http://rfbolland.com/okislugs/glos_sp4.html.

Dear Bob,
I don't recognise this species either.
