( Figure 3 B View FIGURE 3 )

Material examined. One specimen. MB28-004569, ZSC, 0 7 Jun. 2012, 22m, 8mm.

Habitats. Subtropical rocky reefs.

Occurrences. Zavora.

Geographic distribution. Western Indian Ocean. So far only recorded to Mozambique.

Remarks. This species resembles Doris cameroni ( Allan, 1947) from New South Wales, Australia, but lacks the typical black dots on the top of the tubercles. Additional individuals are needed for further investigation, however it is likely to be an undescribed species.
