Diaphorodoris mitsuii from Tasmania, Australia

August 18, 2006
From: Bill Rudman


To accompany Leanne & David Atkinson's record of Diaphorodoris mitsuii from New South Wales, in eastern Australia [message #17465 ],  here is a record from Tasmania

Locality: Cathedral Cove system, Eaglehawk Neck, SE Tasmania, SE Australia. 13 April 1993. 21 m. Collected by: G Close. Photos Bill Rudman AM C173821, 2 specimens, Size - very small approx 5-7 mm long.

As with the Atkinson's animals, the colour pattern, with a submarginal yellow border is not the common NW Pacific colour form. This species is possibly an introduction to SE Australia, but without further information it is hard to be sure.

Best wishes
Bill Rudman
