Hopkinsia? or Okenia? sp.

February 16, 2002
From: Atsushi Ono

Dear Bill,
I think the two unidentified photos you have on the Forum as Hopkinsia? or Okenia? sp. have recently been named.
Bernard's photo is similar to Hopkinsia nakamotoensis Hamatani, 2001.
And Erwin's photo is similar to Sakishimaia kondoi Hamatani,2001.

• Hamatani, I. (2001) Two new species of Goniodorididae (Opisthobranchia; Nudibranchia) with a new genus from Kuroshima Island, Okinawa, Japan. Venus, 60(3): 151-156

Sincerely,
Atsushi Ono

Dear Atsushi,
Thanks for drawing my attention to this paper. It recently arrived at the museum but I hadn't had a chance to read it. I have prepared pages for both species:
Hopkinsia nakamotoensis
Sakishimaia kondoi.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
