Glossodoris cincta
(Bergh, 1888) [1]

Glossodoris cincta is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. This name has been extensively used for a group of similarly coloured species, some of which are unnamed. [2]

Distribution

This species was described from Ile Marianne, Fouquets Reef, Mauritius. This species has been reported in error widely in the Indo-Pacific region but these reports should be referred to Glossodoris acosti or undescribed Glossodoris species. [2] The only reliable recent records are from Réunion. [3]

Description

Glossodoris cincta has a mantle which is tawny brown with blue-white dots and a dark blue margin to the mantle which is separated from the brown by a thin grey line. The rhinophores are dark brown with blue-white dots. The living holotype was 60 mm (2.4 in) in length. [1] [2] [3] [4]
