  2. Hi Brian -- I couldn't find a named species. It looks very similar to this one which was left as Pseudoceros sp http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~bu6/flat0246.html

     

    Thanks Leslie, I figured Pseudoceros sp. but just hoped someone could narrow it down to a species. If it's the same one in your link, then there's quite a distance from the two locations. Also, mine has a two colour margin, yellow and blue. The one in the link looks like it has a three colour margin with a thin black between the yellow and blue.

     

    Cheers,

  3. You're right.... I was so pleased to have found something similar that I didn't look closely enough. Can you ever forgive me for attempting to lead you astray? :)

  4. Hello,

     

    I was looking through nudipixel to help ID this critter. I found one that was very similar, but sorry to say it is unidentified as well.

  5. Thanks Sev,

     

    It's location in India is getting nearer and it looks similar, except the margin is proportionally a lot thinner, but then I'm not sure if margin thickness is consistent throughout a species. It will be interesting to hear a few opinions.

     

    Cheers,

    Brian

     

    @Leslie, I'll forgive you if you come up with and ID. :)
