Dear Dr. Rudman,
Here is a species I found on a visit to Panama. [Pacific coast]. Can you tell what it is?

Pictures information: May 11th and 13th, 2003. Coiba National Park, Panama (Pacific Coast) 22 and 17 mm. (about 15 feet deep) I found 4 specimens altogether.

Cheers
Ali

Dear Ali,
I think this is Sclerodoris tanya, but these papillate dorids are a bit tricky without local knowledge so I would be grateful for some local feedback. It also looks a bit like a species of Thordisa
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
