Favorinus blianus from Norway

From: Christian Skauge

Hi Bill,
I was sifting through some older pictures of species I have not been able to identify, and came across this image. Do you think this might be a Favorinus blianus - or is it just a pale Flabellina lineata? Location is at Gulen on the Norwegian west coast in May 2005.

Dear Christian,
It certainly looks like that species. My only doubt is that I can't see enough detail in the shape of the rhinophores. If it is F. blianus it is nice to get another record of this rarely reported species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
