Acanthodoris pina is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. [4] [5]

Distribution

This species was described from Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico. It has been reported from there south to Bahía de los Ángeles. [6] It is thought to be endemic to the northern part of the Gulf of California. [2] Specimens from Baja California have been sequenced for the 16S ribosomal RNA, Histone H3 and CO1 genes. [7] [3]
