Philinopsis reticulata from the Red Sea

April 7, 2002
From: Jacob Dafni

Dear Dr. Rudman,
Yet another unknown slug picture. It was taken among algae and rubble in the subtidal zone, Eilat, Northern Red Sea, in 1985. I am not sure about its size. The best I could do is to affiliate it to the Cephalaspidea.

Thank You in advance.
Dr Jacob Dafni

Dear Jacob,
This is indeed a cephalaspid. It is a pale colour form of Philinopsis reticulata.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
