Cyerce bourbonica
This is probably Cyerce sp. 4 in Gosliner. The original description by Yonow (2012) clarifies that Cyerce bourbonica is Cyerce sp. 2 in Gosliner (without mentioning Cyerce sp. 4) and Cyerce sp. 3 in the Seaslug Forum. A picture on Nudipixel that without much doubt is the same animal as my specimen has been identified by Richard Willan as Cyerce bourbonica. It does not match the original description by Yonow, 2012, where no transparency of the cerata is mentioned, nor the gland that is visible in my specimen (and faintly in the Nudipixel specimen). In the light that Richard Willan, allegedly stictly adheres to scientific principles and does not tend to fabricate evidence (sorry, personal jokes), nor disrespect other scientists' views, I follow his Nudipixel expertise. That should make me a good Australian heretic. But I'd caution people to not follow my example but decide by themselves. The new Gosliner book is out, but I have not seen it yet and double-checked.
