( Figure 22 C–D View FIGURE 22 )

Material examined. Six specimens. ZMBN117020, ZWH, 0 5 Feb. 2012, 17m, 11mm; MB28-004719, ZT, 11 Aug. 2013, 45mm, 22m; MHN-YT1291, NHR, 9m, 9mm; ZMBN117073, NSS, 0 2 Jun. 2014, 20m, 12mm; MB28- 0 0 4890, NHR, 9m, 17mm; ZMBN105132, VIPP, 19 May 2015, 12m, 11mm, collected by Y. Tibiriçá & M. Malaquias.

Habitats. Subtropical rocky reefs and tropical coral reefs.

Occurrences. Zavora, Nuarro and Vamizi Island.

Geographic distribution. Western Indian Ocean. Madagascar (Gosliner et al. 2008), Mayotte ( Rudman 2009c) and Mozambique.

Remarks. This species appears undescribed. A similar species with three black longitudinal lines is Phyllidiopsis phiphiensis Brunckhorst, 1993 , however this differs from Phyllidiopsis sp. by the presence of black spots on the margin, an absence of radial marginal lines, and white rhinophores.
