  Noumea laboutei
The species Noumea laboutei, a beautiful chromodorid named by Rudman (1986), is based on a single 11mm (preserved) specimen collected on 24 March, 1982 from Ilot Gi, New Caledonia (from 12m).
Noumea laboutei is unknown from Okinawa Island as of mid-January, 2002, but the close proximity of the main island of Okinawa to the Kerama Islands, as well as the similar opisthofauna to that of the Kerama Islands, suggests the possibility that it is also present here on Okinawa proper.
Noumea laboutei is but one of ten species currently confirmed as being found in Okinawa waters.

 The Sea Slug Forum - Noumea norba
In Noumea norba the background colour of the mantle can vary from reddish purple to pinkish orange in different specimens.
Noumea norba and Noumea varians are quite similar in colour however their internal anatomy is quite different.
In an earlier revision (Rudman, 1986) I considered this species to be a synonym of Noumea purpurea but now that we no more about the anatomy and colour variation in that species, they are clearly distinct.
