One or two species of Lomanotus from Indonesia

April 25, 2010
From: Kevin Lee


A few months ago, I was fortunate to dive in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, where I bumped into about 90 slug species. Among them were various flavors of Lomanotus, found normally on hydroids during night dives. Here are a few examples.

Locality: Raja Ampat, 20-35 feet, Indonesia, Indo-Pacific, December 2009, rock reefs. Length: < 0.5 inch. Photographer: Kevin Lee.

Dear Kevin,

I am not sure how many species you have here. I am including them all under Lomanotus sp. 1 but I think we need to look at the anatomy of these different coloured 'forms' before we can get a better idea concerning the importance of colour in this group.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
