Elysia bennettae? from northern New South Wales

November 22, 2002
From: Bill Rudman


This animal differs from 'typical' Elysia bennettae in that the red specks are larger, and do not aggregate along the edge of the parapodia or the tip of the rhinophores to form a red line. It also has a yellow submarginal band on the inside of the parapodia.
