FIGURE 24 in Molecular and morphological systematics of Elysia Risso, 1818 (Heterobranchia: Sacoglossa) from the Caribbean region

FIGURE 24. Elysia subornata, external morphology and egg masses. Live specimens photographed upon collection from the Bahamas (A), or near the type locality in Bermuda (B–F). A, Specimen from Sweetings Cay (length = 11 mm) resting on a stipe of Caulerpa racemosa, on which the specimen was collected. B–C, Dorsal view of specimens from Bermuda collected on C. racemosa, showing dark marginal line; length = 2.7 mm (B), 3 mm (C). D, Dorsal view of highly papillose specimen from Bermuda collected on C. cupressoides; length = 6 mm. E–F Side view (E) and dorsal surface (F) of specimen from Bermuda (length = 4.5 mm) showing elongate renopericardial complex and dorsal vessel network lining inner parapodial margin. G, Egg mass from Bahamas specimen showing thick ribbon of orange ECY embedded around egg capsules containing uncleaved ova; field of view = 1.73 mm. H, Subsequent development of egg mass from (G), showing newly metamorphosed juveniles and cast-off larval shells inside egg mass.
