Doris januarii is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Dorididae. [2]
This species was described by Rudolph Bergh in 1878 but considered to be a synonym of Doris verrucosa by von Ihering, 1886 [3] and subsequent authors. A detailed anatomical comparison of these species concluded that they were distinct species. [4]
This species occurs on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Brazil, from Pernambuco to São Paulo.
This species lives at depths up to 12 m in the rocky subtidal region, near areas covered by the encrusting sponge Hymeniacidon heliophila (Parker, 1910) during the reproductive season. [5]

Platydoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae. These nudibranchs are large and often brightly coloured, but normally live concealed beneath rocks or loose coral, feeding on sponges. During the night they become more active, searching for new food sources or mates. Many species were described in the 19th century and a revision in 2002 added six new species.
