Remarks.— Jorunna rubescens is widespread in the tropical Indo-West Pacific and although it has been recorded in the scientific literature from Indonesia only recently (Camacho-Garcia & Gosliner, 2008), it has been photographed from this locality previously by Anderson (2000), Tonozuka (2003), and there are many photographs on NudiPixel.
