Berghia rissodominguezi from Colombia

From: Bill Rudman

I am happy to announce that I have found a name for one of the 'lost souls' in the 'unidentified pages'. An aeolid from Colombia with very characteristic orange markings around the ceratal insertion points, is Berghia rissodominguezi. The relevant article was in a set of photocopies that Colin Redfern kindly sent to me.

According to Muniain & Ortea (1999), some of the records of Berghia coerulescens and Berghia verrucicornis from the Caribbean as misidentifications for this species.

• Muniain, C. & Ortea, J. (1999) First records of the genus Berghia Trinchese, 1877 (Opisthobranchia: Aeolidiidae) from Argentina, with desription of a new species. Avicennia, 10/11: 143-150.
