Re: Tritonia lineata? from Malta

September 17, 1999
From: Bernard Picton

I've just looked at Constantine's pictures from Malta, and my feeling is that it is more likely to be a juvenile Tritonia hombergi. These are often almost translucent with some white pigment. The body looks too broad for T. lineata. See my page at: http://www.pictonb.freeserve.co.uk/nudibranchs/trilin.html

Dear Bernard,
Thanks for clearing up this, and the identities of the two unidentified aeolids from Scotland.
