THE GENUS TRAPANIA (NUDIBRANCHIA: GONIODORIDIDAE) IN THE INDO-WEST PACIFIC

W.B. RUDMAN

The Australian Museum P.O. Box A285, Sydney South, New South Wales, Australia 2000

Seven new species of the nudibranch genus Trapania Pruvot-Fol, 1931 (Goniodorididae) are described from the Indo-West Pacific and an eighth species, T. japonica (Baba, 1935), originally described from one preserved specimen from Japan, is redescribed from specimens collected in Hong Kong and tropical eastern Australia. Three of the new species are from temperate south-eastern Australia and one from tropical eastern Australia. Two species are known only from Hong Kong and a third is recorded from the Sudanese Red Sea as well as Hong Kong.

Only ten other species of Trapania have been described, six of those from Europe, and one each from Brazil, California, Japan and New Zealand. The anatomy and external colour pattern of these species is compared with that of the seven new species.
