Ercolania boodleae

(Baba, 1938)


Erwin Koehler ID help needed on this sacoglossan from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, 5 mm, 7 m, taken on 12 December 2002 by Alicia Hermosillo, she labels it Ercolania boodleae, I disagree, because: the eye-spots differ, the rhinophores differ, and the cerata differ from the other pictures at the web...

Gary Cobb When I found this photo I assumed if anyone would know it would surely be her. This seems to be the only recording of the alleged species.

Gary Cobb ...from the Eastern Pacific.
