Glossodoris? from the Red Sea

January 14, 1999
From: Michael Schroedl

Dear Dr. Rudman,
   
My name is Michael Schroedl, I am a PhD student revising Chilean nudibranchs. Beside, I am working on Red Sea opisthobranchs, at present trying to identify a Glossodoris species which may be new. This species was illustrated by Debelius (1997, p. 215, above: Chromodoris sp.), and may also refer to Yonow (1989: 296; pl. 10) Chromodoris indet. I have attached a file with a picture taken from Egypt in 1997. Please, is there any further information on its ID?
    
Many thanks for your help.
    
Best regards,
Michael

Dear Michael,
I have seen photos of this animal before and yes the two references you mention seem to be the same animal. Are you basing the placing of it in Glossodoris on external features or have you had a look at its anatomy? I agree it is probably an unnamed species.

I would be very interested in information on Chilean opisthobranchs to put on the Sea Slug Forum. If you have photos you would like to share they would be very welcome.
Bill Rudman.
