Bill:
Another species update. The animal called Doris? sp. 2 on the Forum has been named Aldisa erwinkoehleri Perrone, 2001. We all recognize its name, as that of the creator of great web site listing/linking every opisthobranch image on the internet.

Reference:
• Perrone, A. (2001) A new species of Nudibranchia of the genus Aldisa Bergh (Gastropoda, Opisthobranchia). Basteria, 65: 105-116

Thanks Dave,
Erwin told me of this a few weeks ago and I have been waiting to see the publication, which finally arrived a week ago. I used to think of Aldisa as a genus of red dorids which mimicked sponges, but now it seems they include a group of nodulose species which mimic phylidiids.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
