Distribution

This species was described from Mauritius. It has been erroneously reported as a widespread species occurring in the Mediterranean Sea; the Caribbean Sea, South Africa from Saldanha Bay to southern KwaZulu Natal and New Zealand. These records represent a complex of distinct species. [2]

Description

Bergh [3] described this species based on Moebius’ drawings and notes. The coloration of the living animal was depicted as white, yellow, and grey, including the oral tentacles and the rhinophores. Miller [4] designated Aeolidiella indica as the type species of Anteaeolidiella, although his specimen did not match the coloration described by Bergh and was probably Anteaeolidiella lurana . [2]

The maximum recorded body length is 40 mm. [5]

Habitat

Minimum recorded depth is 0 m. [5] Maximum recorded depth is 0 m. [5]
