Bill
Thank you very much for your identification of my Hypselodoris kaname snap.

I see that you are looking for a photograph of Aphelodoris luctuosa and thought I would send you one. This was photographed in April this year at the Poor Knights Islands in about 15 m of water. We see these very regularly around the north eastern NZ coast.

Thanks again
Ian

Thanks Ian,
It's nice to see these photos of the New Zealand fauna. I had forgotten how raised the rhinophore pockets are (bottom photo).
