*Plakobranchus cf. papua, Plakobranchus cf. sp. 3, Plakobranchus sp. 4 and the unidentified Elysia pictured above may represent new records for the Mariana Islands, but it is possible that the Plakobranchus species were considered variants of Plakobranchus ocellatus and the unidentified Elysia were reported as undescribed Elysia in Carlson and Hoff (2003)
