Concerning message #4169:

Could you confirm me it's Hypselodoris obscura. This photo was taken at Lembeh Strait, Indonesia.

And for your collection, Glossodoris cincta taken by my friend Benoit, Lembeh.

Thank you.

Dear Sandrine,

The animal in your upper photo looks quite like H. obscura and H. infucata  but the gills are clearly triangular in cross section, which is fdifferent from  both those species, and they have yellow spots on the outer face, which is a clear character of H. kanga.

Thanks for the photo of G. cincta. Before you send any further messages to the Forum, could you please have a look at the instructions. I don't want the Forum to be just a one-way street where I identify photos and that's that. I want it to a two-way exchange where I answer questions in exchange for a little bit of data which might be valuable in future to someone doing some research. That is why I ask for some basic locality and specimen data and ask that participants put different species into separate messages so they can be filed away sensibly for future recall. Most participants are happy to work on this basis.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
