Pelagella
(?) sp. #1

 
Pelagella(?) sp. #1
Maximum size:  2 mm.

Identification:  This is a cream animal with broad, two-lobed lateral shelves edged in white. The rhinophores are white, tipped in blood-red with yellow subapical rings. The branchia are white and there are white bands on the posterior portion of the notum and the front of the head.

Natural history:  Pelagella(?) sp. #1 is known from two animals. The second was found at a moderately exposed site at < 2 m (< 6 ft).

Distribution:  Maui: also known from Papua New Guinea and Japan.

Taxonomic notes:  It was first recorded in Hawaii from Makena, Maui by PF on Oct. 19, 1995. There's some possibility that it will ultimately turn out to be a Goniodoris sp.
