Nembrotha from SE Sulawesi

April 22, 1998
From: Lindsay Warren

Dear Bill
Here is a Nembrotha for you. Unfortunately I have no details as to the exact nature of the surface on which they were found but they were also part of those found in the Tukang Besi Islands in SE Sulawesi last October. Looking forward to your comments on these. The opisthobranch species count for this area is now 70 and growing.
Many thanks for your help.
All the best
Lindsay Warren

This is another species? or colour form? in the Nembrotha lineolata colour group. We will need to have a much better idea of anatomy and colour variation within species before we can say whether we are dealing with one or a group of similarly coloured species. The animal in your photo has a remarkable resemblance to Hypselodoris maritima
