Dear Bill,

Thanks for reproducing my photos so well. I haven't found Thuridilla kathae with the broad white cream parapodial border as illustrated in Terry Gosliner's paper. In all other respects my animal matched his description but to make sure that my animal was this species I sent Terry the photos and he has confirmed that the identification is correct. My animal had a thin white parapodial border heavily speckled with green.

Best wishes,
Julie Marshall

Thanks Julie,
I didn't have any problem with your identification. I just thought that with a relatively new species that we have few records of, it would be good to get as much information on variability from you as possible.
