Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa from Lembeh

March 30, 2010
From: De Lorenzi Franco

Dear Dr Rudman

This summer in Lembeh I found this doridae. I tried to identify it but in all my books there is nothing similar, therefore I thought it is a juvanile form or what else. I hope it may be an interesting species.

Locality: Nudi falls - Lembeh strait, 25 m, indonesia, indopacific ocean, 24 august 2009, broken coral, sand. Length: 15 mm. Photographer: De Lorenzi Franco.

Thanks for your help.

Dear Franco,

This is Hypselodoris purpureomaculosa which seems to be quite common in the Indonesian region

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
