Below is comment from Dr. Bill Rudman, go to Sea Slug Forum to read more information
Thanks Nigel,
This is a very useful addition to the Forum, and to our general information on the genus. It is the first photo I have seen from South Australia, from where the species was described, which matches the original painting. Neville Coleman (1989) has a photo from Cockburn Sound, Western Australia, which could be this species, but it has many more orange lines, and they are not arranged in the same reticulate pattern. I am sure Shireen Fahey will be interested to know of this specimen.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
