It has a pinkish body colour, mottled with brown and tan. The lateral appendages are unbranched and have rounded tubercles on their surface. There is a distictinctive brown patch with an opaque white spot basally at the dorsal base of the lateral appendages. It is at least pretty similar to Hancockia sp. 2 in IPN: Gosliner, Terrence M., David W. Behrens & Ángel Valdés. 2008. Indo-Pacific Nudibranchs and Sea Slugs. Sea Challengers Natural History Books. Gig Harbor, Washington. 426pp. at page 324 The first specimen (pictures 1-3) was identified by David W. Behrens, thanks! Like all members of this genus has it "pulpit-like" rhinophores with a lobate sheath a tapering club that ends in a rounded club. Originally posted at these website as Hancockia sp. A Genus: Gosse, 1877. For some genera, such as Trinchesia is the alphabet almost through. I had to change the distinguishing alphabetic character into a number. I have chosen 2-digit numbers, even if '01' looks a little bit stupid, and now is only the genus italic written. |
