From: Marina Poddubetskaia


Dear Bill,
I have some difficulty in identifying this blue doris. I think, it is a juvenile of Hypselodoris villafranca. The side of the foot can't be seen very well but I noted that it had some thin white lines like in H. villafranca or H. fontandraui. Could you help me, please?

Location: Cerbere, France,[Mediterranean coast]. July 05, 2002
Site: La Ramere
Depth: 13m
Size: about 10mm

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
This seems to fit Angel Valdes' comments on the Fact Sheet for H. villafranca so I think your tentative identification is probably correct.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
