Hi Bill,

I thought I'd post several images of a recently described Kaloplocamus species, Kaloplocamus peludo Valles & Gosliner 2006.
Three specimens have been collected from Okinawa.

Locality: Seragaki, Okinawa, Japan, Western Pacific, Mixed coral rubble, sand, algae.
Upper Photo: RFB #3726-A / 17 mm / 61 m / 18 Aug 1999 / Seragaki, Okinawa (original Kodachrome at 1.5:1).
Lower Photo: RFB #3567-C / 10 mm / 53 m / 26 Mar 1997 / Seragaki, Okinawa (original Kodachrome at 4:1) Photographer: R. F. Bolland.
