Knoutsodonta depressa is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. [2]

Distribution

This species was described from Whitley Bay, Northumberland, England. It is currently known from Norway south to the Atlantic coast of France and the Mediterranean Sea. [4] Reports from other parts of the world are doubtful and specimens from Brasil have been described as Knoutsodonta brasiliensis . [5]
