Glossodoris hikuerensis from French Polynesia

December 20, 2000
From: Daniel L. Geiger


Dear Bill,
I am sending some photos of nudibranchs I collected in French Polynesia in August, 2000. Many have never seen formalin so may be of interest to some people doing molecular phylogenetic work.

The first one is Glossodoris cf. cincta(?) from Moorea.

Best wishes
Daniel

Dear Daniel,
Although this has similarities to Glossodoris cincta, the Pacific colour form has a white border at the edge of the mantle. I think your animal is a dark form of Glossodoris hikuerensis which was described from French Polynesia.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
