Dendronotus orientalis is a species of sea slug, a dendronotid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dendronotidae.[2]
Distribution
This species was described from Misaki Marine Biological Station, Moroiso, Japan. It has been reported from the Philippines and China.[3] A specimen from Daisong Bay, near Xiamen, China was sequenced for the 16S ribosomal RNA and Histone H3 genes and found to cluster within the genus Dendronotus prompting the change of name from Pseudobornella orientalis to Dendronotus orientalis.[4]
Description
The morphology of this species is redescribed in detail by Pola et al. (2009).[5]
