Hypselodoris sp. from New Caledonia

November 3, 2006
From: Jean-François Hervé


Dear Bill,

Attached are photos of another Hypselodoris I found last month.

Locality: Noumea, 15 m, New caledonia, Pacific Ocean, August 06. Length: 20 mm. Photographer: Jean-François Hervé.

It seems to look like Hypselodoris peasei with the white lines but it's endemic to Hawaï and there are some differences.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
Jean-François

Dear Jean-François,
This is a species I am at present calling Hypselodoris cf carnea, not because I think its closely related to Hypselodoris carnea but simply because it looks quite like it.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
