Dendronotus kamchaticus is a species of sea slug, a dendronotid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dendronotidae. [2]

Etymology

This species is named after Kamchatka, where it was found. [1]

Distribution

This species was described from specimens collected at 7 m depth at Cape Baraniy, Avachinskiy Bay, Kamchatka, northwest Pacific Ocean. [1]

Description

Dendronotus kamchaticus has a patterned body which is similar to Dendronotus frondosus , Dendronotus kalikal and Dendronotus venustus . It is distinguished from these species by details of the colour pattern, the branching of the dorsal appendages (cerata), the smooth median tooth of the radula in adults and molecular characters.
