Unknown Caribbean Polycera

May 1, 2002
From: Dave Behrens


Dear Bill:
Wondered if anyone can shed some light on this Polycera collected in Belize, Central America. We collected the specimen at Laughing Bird Caye, on March 29, 1992, at a depth of about 100 feet on a filigree hydroid. The photo is by Jeff Hamann.
Thanks

Dear Dave,
Polycera rycia Marcus & Marcus, 1970 seems to be the only Caribbean species with secondary papillae on the extrabranchial papillae, and it doesn't seem to fit that species.
Cheers,
Bill
