Bornella sarape from Mexico

From: Alicia Hermosillo

Dear Dr. Rudman,
After giving you a break on my postings, I come back with this very neat finding. Bornella sarape is a rather uncommon animal that had been reported last in 1980 by Dr. Hans Bertsch in Sayulita Nayarit (around 60 km north of my study area).

Hans and I were diving last Sunday and I came across this guy, I could not identify it on the spot but he certainly could and was pretty excited about it. I bet his uw pictures are going to be amazing. This specimen is 42 mm long and was found under a rock in Los Arcos, Bahia de Banderas, Mexico, 54 feet deep.
