Dear Bill:
Here is another sea slug from Jamaica. As I said in my first message, all specimens were collected from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, West Indies. Photo: R. Gunderson.

Here is a Berthelinia (Tamanovalva) caribbea. Found on Caulerpa in mangroves.

Best wishes,
Ross

Thanks Ross,
Berthelinia caribbea, or perhaps Tamanovalva caribbea, is a nice addition to the bivalved sacoglossans already on the Forum. I have discussed the status of the genus names Tamanovalva and Berthelinia in an earlier message.
Best wishes
