Dear Bill,
May I introduce Diaphorodoris lirulatocauda that was identified by Terry Gosliner and taken from Korean coast of Yellow Sea.
Locality: Tae An, 10m, South Korea, Yellow Sea, 28 June 2008. Length: Approx. 10 mm. Photographer: Ji Yeon Lee.
Best regards,

Dear Koh,
This is an intersting find. Externally it certainly looks like D. lirulatocauda which at present, I think, is only known from the west coast of North America. You don't mention if Terry has checked the anatomy of your specimens, but if it does prove to be this species it joins a growing number of species which are proving to have a wide distribution around the wets and east coast of the northern Pacific.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
