Dear Bill,

This is a photo of what I think is Cadlinella subornatissima at Jeju island from South Korea.

Locality: Bum islet. Jeju island, -33m, South Korea, Pacific, 19 September 2006, Length: approx. 20 mm. Photographer: Dong Bum Koh.

Best regards,

Dear Koh,
This certainly fits Baba's description of the species. There are so few records of this species since its naming 10 years ago, that every new one is very valuable.

I have prepared a Fact Sheet for it and also one for Cadlinella hirsuta, the third known species in the genus, which I described in 1995.

Best wishes,
