Ancula mapae is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae .
This goniodorid nudibranch is translucent white in colour with brown patches or stripes composed of small brown spots interspersed with white pigment. The pre-rhinophoral papillae, extra-branchial papillae and tail have a band of yellow before the tip. There are two extra-branchial papillae which are strongly tapered to a point. [2]
Ancula mapae probably feeds on Entoprocta which often grow on hydroids, bryozoa and other living substrata.
