Dear Bill,
I don't know what Terry would call this one, but it is definitely not what I would call T. ratna. In T. ratna the white stripes do not extend into the red/orange terminal bands on the rhinophores (and there are no iridescent blue spots on external surface of parapodia - as in Bruce Potter's photo).
Greetings,
Kathe

Dear Kathe,
I can't see any blue spots on Bruce's photo. I also thought that I some specimesn of 'T. ratna' the white lines on the rhinophores did not coalesce into a submarginal white band. Basically it seems there are still a few points to sort out with this genus.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
