around the edge of the mantle; the purple margin normally present in the species was lacking in all three. The first specimen (60 mm) was rusty orange, deeper along central dorsum and fading toward edge; creamy white band along margin but no purple edge. Some photographs are of the hyponotum as the animal flapped its margin, and there was no purple crescent or line ventrally. Six large wine-red patches with white annulus outside and white speckles inside. Around edge of rust-coloured area was a ring of small round wine red spots, each also with white ring. Rhinophores white, distal part of frontal surfaces and tips purple: 35 lamellae on right rhinophore, very faint purple wash at tips remaining on preserved specimen. 25 pinnate gills arranged with two ends of an arc spiralling inwards: each is triangular, flat surface white and translucent pinnae on other two surfaces. Both branchial and rhinophoral pockets slightly raised, orange in life. Foot and digitate oral tentacles white, but upper lamina of foot very faintly purple; no spots ventrally.

Specimen 2 (76 mm) was deeper orange in life, with more brown centrally and more yellow-orange marginally than specimen 1; faint submarginal band of yellow-orange before white margin. 13 large brown-red spots encircled with white, few smaller ones arranged irregularly around central patch. Additionally, this specimen had some white patches outside and amongst the small spots. 22 gills all had purple tips; rhinophores had more extensive purple pigment than those of specimen 1. Foot yellow-orange posteriorly followed by white band around margin. Ventrally foot bilaminate for its entire anterior margin (Fig. 10A). This specimen was dissected to remove the radula: body wall of foot thick and rose-red internally, digestive gland dark brown-pink while buccal mass white with pink tint. Muscles were very strong, glistening pink; reproductive system opaque white. The radula is large, but the teeth are minute: the largest laterals measure 100

56.1.56. There is a much reduced median thickening in some of the older rows (Fig. 10D). The first lateral bears a small rounded denticle on each side of a sharp cusp. The next 12 laterals have 10-12 weak denticles along the cusp (Fig. 10D). The remaining teeth are simply hook-shaped, blunt and rounded at the old end of the radula (Fig. 10E) but with extremely long sharp cusps at the newer end. Most of the jaw elements are simple unicuspid structures, with a single slightly curved cusp; very few are bicuspid.

Ventrally, there is also some variability, from pure white to having a (faint or dark) rusty orange line along the crease between the foot and the hyponotum, from no spots to few spots on the foot below this line, and there may or may not be an orange patch on the tail. The Sri Lanka individuals had a very faint purple line on the foot margin.

The gills and rhinophores of tennentana are coloured ochre with white tips, those of leopardus are tipped in violet (the gills rarely have an ochre rachis), and those of cavae are violet or tipped with violet. No mantle glands are visible in the preserved specimens of cavae, whereas they are obvious in tennentana (p. 44 and Fig. 11) and form a band around the mantle in leopardus (
