Cuthona yamasui from Queensland

March 15, 2002
From: Bill Rudman

Bernard Picton's message with photos of what I have been calling Cuthona sp. 1 made me relook at this species and I am pretty sure that it is Cuthona yamasui. If so, it appears to have two main colour forms, one in which translucent orange dominates and another in which this is replaced by blue-black. Here are photos of the two colour forms from Queensland, Australia.
