Fryeria menindie from the Solomon Ids

From: Mary Jane Adams


Hi Bill,
I believe these are both Fryeria menindie. They were about 5 cm long and were found in about 5 meters on silty sand, patch reef divesites.

NOTE added 14 July 2006: Fryeria menindie (Brunckhorst, 1993) was shown by Yonow, 1996 to be a junior synonym of Fryeria picta Pruvot-Fol. Animals previously identified as F. menindie on the Forum have been moved to Fryeria picta.

Dear Mary Jane,
I agree that they're Fryeria menindie
