Hypselodoris ruthae from Colombia

Dear Bill
Which Hypselodoris is this one? I looked at Humann book and I think is a juvenile of H. ruthae since the ones that I found had yellow lines across the body, with the number of yellow lines increasing with the increase in length. It is from Santa Marta, Colombia.

Dear Phanor,
I'm sure you are right. One other character would be the black patch at the mantle edge about midway along each side. It can be clearly seen in your juveniles, which from the size of the spirorbid worm tubes would seem to be only a few millimeters long. If you have photos of adults it would be nice to have one for comparison.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
