Doto lemchei

Ortea & Urgorri, 1978


Klas Malmberg Aquatilis And another one - has been suggested as a Doto cf. lemchei. Do you agree?

Carissa Shipman I love how the tubercles shimmer.

Bernard Picton Doto lemchei has a broad area of spots on the back - different to these small dark spots....

Erling Svensen And this one, Doto lemchei? 1 cm specie from Gulen, Norway.

Bernard Picton Not Doto lemchei, but one of the Doto fragilis complex. Interesting lobed rhinophore sheaths on this one, which might be important, Doto cuspidata and Doto crassicornis have this character.

Erling Svensen Ok, Bernard, I call him Doto cuspidata var. Svensiensis

Bernard Picton var. svenseni - -ensis is for places so gulenensis...

David Kipling Doto lemchei on Aglaophenia tubulifera. (Pembrokeshire).

David Fenwick Snr That's very nice David

Bernard Picton With an internal Splancnotrophus parasite, those are its eggs in the middle of the back.

Carissa Shipman This is so cool! Studying the Doto and studied the parasites that infect sea slugs! They are very difficult to remove from sea slugs.
