Description
Description. There are no photographs accompanying the Socotra specimen, but the preserved specimen is semi-relaxed (examined 2009), with dark orange rhinophores and gills. The mantle is black with two white stripes fading to cream with a faint orange tinge on the dorsum. There is a relatively broad white band between the black dorsum and the orange marginal band (cf. Chromodoris hamiltoni above, which normally does not have this white separation, and Chromodoris elisabethina Bergh, which has a fine white line). The white line at the very edge of the margin can still be seen (cf. Chromodoris africana p. 34 which does not have this white line). There are two black stripes on the sides of the foot, and the foot retains an orange margin. The preserved specimen is identical to specimens collected from the Red Sea in 1990: Chromodoris quadricolor appears to hold its colour extremely well in formaldehyde.
