Chromodoris burni Rudman, 1982
Named to recognize the contributions of fellow Australian slugologist Robert Burn , it is often confused with Chromodoris striatella. It is one of the few species to remain in the genus Chromodoris after Johnson and Gosliner revamped the entire family. It is distinguished by its orange marginal band and numerous black lines on the white notum. It differs from C. striatella in having an orange gill and rhinophores that lack white specks. It distribution seems to be limited to Indonesia, New Caledonia, Queensland, Australia, the Philippines and possibly southern Japan. |

Jim has been a solid supporter of the Slug Site since day one. His countless contributions put him near the top of the list of photographers who have greatly expanded our knowledge of sea slugs. There are a lot of kids in the formative stage of their education who are getting their first introduction to our sea slug friends via the great photographs Jim and other contributors have made to the site. My hat is off to Jim for making this presentation possible! Send Jim email at jim.black14@verizon.net
