Unidentified aeolid from Brazil

December 14, 2002
From: Marcelo Krause

Hello,
This picture is a nudibranch on a diver's glove which I photgraphed in the south of Brazil. In 15 years of diving here this is the only time I saw this species at about 14m depth.

Thank you,
Marcelo

Dear Marcelo,
I am sorry but this one is not as easy as your last photo. It is an aeolid nudibranch, and most probably a glaucid or flabellinid. I have looked through the relevant literature without success. It is possibly an unnamed species. Hopefully someone with a personal knowledge of the west Atlantic fauna will be able to help identify this
Bst wishes,
Bill Rudman
