Noumeaella sp. 02 is Noumeaella sp. 5 in IPN
Let me quote the description of
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 382:
"Body translucent white with an opaque white patch on the anterior portion of the head and the notum. Cerata light brown, inwardly curved. Translucent white oral tentacles with opaque white spots. Rhinophores dark brown."
This specimen was identified by Dr. Richard Willan, thanks!
It was posted at these websites before as Noumeaella sp. B  Genus: Risbec, 1937 .
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.
