Doto acuta
Schmekel & Kress, 1977
Betty Nel Blu Doto sp. Costa Paradiso, Sardegna.
Bernard Picton I’d call it one of the Doto coronata group. What was the hydroid and what was that growing on, Betty?
Ian Smith Looks very like illustration and description of Doto acuta in Schmekel & Portmann "Opisthobranchia des Mittelmeeres". In particular black ring on rhinophores with diffuse black lower down, and black spots on cerata. Body colour yellowish.
Bernard Picton Nice Ian, I agree those rhinophores are very distinctive. Do you have the colour plates in your copy of S & P? Mine was a reprint and looks like a B&W photocopy with a nice binding. I was devastated, but I’d bought it for the Museum as we didn’t get a copy when it came out.
Ian Smith Yes Bernard I have colour plates. Sorry that my scanner is kaput or I'd put it up as I can't find any acuta images on the web. Shame S&P is so expensive, I was lucky - got it on web for about £70 instead of usual £300.
