(®gure 16c)
Phyllidia multituberculata Boettger : Yonow, 1996: 487, ®gures 2, 3, 4B.
Material. Chag96/29: 27 mm; outer reef, Ile de la Passe, Salomon Atoll; 14 February 1996; at 22 m depth.
Description. Bright orange, with seven white-edged black patches, three on each side and one anteriorly. Several black spots around periphery and two on midline. Dorsum with numerous orange tubercles, largest on midline and smallest near mantle edge. Rhinophores long, orange; anus on orange tubercle.
Geographic distribution. Indian Ocean : Mauritius and the Seychelles (and one specimen from Indonesia; Yonow, 1996) .
Remarks. This species has been recently re-established (Yonow, 1996) and the Chagos specimen is virtually identical to the one illustrated in her ®gure 2A from the Seychelles. This specimen from Salomon Atoll was found and photographed on a reddish orange sponge which had large osculae; on this substratum it appeared to be well camouāged.
