Re: Dorid from Canary Ids

Dear Bill:

The dorid from Canary Islands is not Discodoris confusa, but probably a Paradoris. It seems to me that this animal could be P. indecora (Bergh, 1881). However, for more information, I recommend the Ortea's paper "Study of the Atlantic species of Paradoris Bergh, 1884 (Mollusca: Nudibranchia: Discodorididae) collected from Canary Islands", and published in Avicennia, 3: 5-27, (1995).

I hope this can be useful.

Lucas.

Dear Lucas,
Thanks for the help. I am happy to tentatively identify it as Paradoris indecora. I am afraid I do not have a copy of Ortea's paper in Avicennia, one of many journals I am afraid we don't subscribe to, for financial reasons.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
