This is a part of Valda Fraser's message about Chromodoris africana and similarly coloured species from South Africa. I have copied it here for cross-reference ... Bill Rudman

Dear Bill
These black and white nudibranchs are confusing me. ... [This one] is Chromodoris cf. africana.

Dear Valda,

I'll put this 'species' on the Chromodoris cf. africana page but I think it may be different. It also has similarities in colour to C. striatella and C. lineolata, but in those species the gills and rhinophores have translucent spotting. I would need to look at its anatomy before I could say anything sensible about its relationships to these other species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
