Description
Description/Distribution. Benthic form of this circumglobal species distinguished by fine longitudinal brown-to-black lines usually interrupted by 'eyespots' with bright blue centres; tail long, swelling present in middle of body where parapodial lobes enclose large gill and anal siphon; rhinophores and oral tentacles long and slender. Specimens in any given population may have few or numerous villi, and this variation is still visible in the preserved material. It can be locally common in sea grass beds and shallow water, especially during the breeding season, but this does not happen every year (P Bidgrain, pers. comm. and http://seaslugs.free.fr/nudibranche/a_intro.htm).
