Acanthodoris nanaimoensis, the Nanaimo horned dorid, is a species of dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. [3]
A. nanaimeonsis was described in Jesse Island, in the lagoon near Hammond's Bay, Nanaimo, and British Columbia. Frank Mace MacFarland, an American malacologist, described the same species in Moss Beach, Montara Point, San Mateo County, in California, under the name Acanthodoris columbina. [4] It is reported from Halibut Point, Baranof Island, Alaska south to Purisima Point, Santa Barbara, California. [5] [6] [7] Some specimens from Pillar Point, San Mateo County, California, Puget Sound, Kitsap County, and Washington, have been sequenced for 16S ribosomal RNA, Histone H3 and CO1 genes. [8] [9]

Acanthodoris pilosa is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. It is found in shallow water in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, its range extending from Norway to France, and also both on the eastern coast of Canada and the United States, and the Pacific coast from the Aleutian Islands to Morro Bay, California.
Acanthodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidorididae. The genus is believed to have originated in the Atlantic Ocean in the Cretaceous period and spread to the Pacific Ocean. The relationships of Acanthodoris to the other genera in the family Onchidorididae were evaluated by molecular phylogeny in 2015.

This species is found in the northeastern and northwestern parts of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also reported from the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Previously in the genus Adalaria this species was moved to Onchidoris as a result of a molecular phylogeny study.
