Identification:  The body of this species is translucent with a few opaque white spots on the head and rhinophores. The cerata, which are slightly angular at the tip, are translucent and the orange-brown digestive gland can be seen within them. Natural history:  A number of Tergipes sp. #1 were found on a floating cargo rope suggesting that they are a part of the planktonic community. Distribution:  Maui: also known from southern Japan. Taxonomic notes:  These animals may well be juveniles of the species reported from Japan by Shouichi Kato on the Sea Slug Forum. Terry Gosliner concurs that they are not Fiona pinnata. (pers. com.) They were first recorded in Hawaii off Makena, Maui by PF on May 26, 1992. Photo:  PF: on floating cargo rope; off Makena, Maui; May 26, 1992. Observations and comments: Note 1:  ( )
