Felimare juliae is a species of sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. [2]
This species was described from a specimen measuring 57 mm (2.2 in) collected intertidally at Praia das Conchas, Cabo Frio, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 22°52′15″S41°58′52″W / 22.87083°S 41.98111°W and a paratype, from Ilha dos Papagaios, Cabo Frio 22°53′49″S41°59′02″W / 22.89694°S 41.98389°W . [1] Reported from Florida and probably present at intermediate localities in the western Atlantic Ocean. [3]
Felimare juliae is similar in appearance to Felimare picta with a dark blue background colour but is densely covered on the mantle and foot with fine longitudinal orange lines. The mantle has a frilly edge with a marginal orange line enclosing a series of larger pale blue spots and pale blue spots occur amongst the orange lines. [1]
Felimare picta is a species of colourful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. Atlantic Ocean species of Hypselodoris were all transferred to Felimare following a DNA phylogeny.
Chromodoris is a genus of very colourful sea slugs or dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs, and the type genus of the family Chromodorididae. Within the genus Chromodoris, there are currently 101 classified species. Species within Chromodoris are commonly found in tropical and subtropical waters, living as members of reef communities and preying primarily on sponges. A molecular phylogeny of the family Chromodorididae resulted in this genus being restricted to a smaller number of species than formerly, most of which have longitudinal black lines on the mantle. Many former members of Chromodoris were transferred to Goniobranchus
Hypselodoris is a genus of colourful sea slugs or dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae. Modern usage follows a more restricted view of which species belong in this genus so there are numerous genus transfers.
Felimare orsinii is a species of colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch in the family Chromodorididae.
Felimare bayeri is a species of colorful sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. It was described by Eveline and Ernst Marcus in 1967.
