Hi Bill,

This is another Hypselodoris which I can't be sure of the species. Can you help me?

Dear David,
I am having difficulty finding clear differences between some of the species as reviewed in Ortea, Valdes & Garcia-Gomez, 1996. In this case this animal could be H. bilineata, H. tricolor or H. fontandraui. Unfortunately I can't see the colour of the gills in your photos and they may be the critical difference. Any help from local experts would be very welcome.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
