Lateral view showing oral gland. C. Jaw. The body is translucent white with or without opaque white on the tips of the oral tentacles and rhinophores. The head bears a U-shaped pattern of orange extending from the rhinophores to the base of the oral tentacles. In some specimens, up to half of the base of the U may be filled with orange pigment. Extending posteriorly from the base of the rhinophores are trans- lucent or opaque white areas outlined with orange pigment in the shape of an elongate diamond, followed by a large orange circle outlining the pericardial region. Combination of these two areas of pigmentation has been characterized as a 'Greek vase' by Eliot (1908) in describing Aeolidiella orientalis. Posterior to this, a second but smaller circle of orange pigment may occur. Outside of these designs on the dorsum, the back may be covered with orange pigment of varying intensity. The ceratal epithelium is diffusely covered with orange pigment which may be either interrupted by a subapical band of translucent white or overlain with opaque white or pale blue flecks. The digestive gland in the cerata is brown and terminates in a white Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
