Facelina fusca? from Italy

Dear Bill,

This specimen was taken at the beginning of June 2004 in the shallow waters near Trieste, Italy. I have no idea about identification of this nudibranch. Photographer: Gianni Pechiar

Please, help.

Dear Tom,
This could possibly be Facelina fusca Schmekel 1966 but it lacks the red lines which run down the dorsal midline and each side of the body. It does however have the white rounded tubercules on the rhinophores.  Any opinions form local experts would be welcome
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
