Aiteng mysticus is a species of sea slug in the family Aitengidae,[2][4] found around Hisamatsu, Miyako-jima, Okinawa, Japan.[1] Morphologically it clearly belongs to the Aitengidae, but it shows differences to Aiteng ater at genus or species level.[1] Its affinity to Aiteng ater is confirmed by comparison of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences.[1]
