Notodoris citrina is a species of sea slug. It is a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Aegiridae. [2]
This species was described from Rarotonga, Cook Islands. It lives in the Indo-west Pacific area, where it has been found in Queensland, Australia; Indonesia, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia. [3]
