Onchidoris hystricina is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae.[2]
Distribution
This species was described from a specimen collected by Dall in Alaska at Kyska Island, Aleutian Islands. It is considered by some authors to be a synonym of Onchidoris muricata.[3] The name was used incorrectly for the species Diaphorodoris lirulatocauda on the Pacific coast of the USA and Canada.[3]
