Acanthodoris brunnea MacFarland, 1905 [1] | |
Acanthodoris brunnea, common name the brown horned dorid, is a species of sea slugs, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. [2] [3]
This species was described from Monterey Bay, California. It has been reported from Vancouver Island, British Columbia south to Santa Monica Bay. [4] [5] Specimens from Monterey Bay have been sequenced for the 16S ribosomal RNA and CO1 genes. [6] [7]
A. brunnea has a brown mantle with white and black spots. Most of the mantle is covered with semi-transparent gray papilla. They grow to about 20mm long.
It is described that when handled, Acanthodoris brunnea emit the smell of cedar. [5]
