Palio nothus is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. [3]
This species was described from Prestonpans Bay, Firth of Forth, Scotland. It has subsequently been reported from the United Kingdom north to Scandinavia, Russia and Greenland. It has also been reported from the Pacific coast of Canada. [4]
In the north-east Atlantic Palio nothus feeds on bryozoans of the genus Bowerbankia . [5] Its eggs are laid in a short ribbon-like spiral.
William Thompson was an Irish naturalist celebrated for his founding studies of the natural history of Ireland, especially in ornithology and marine biology. Thompson published numerous notes on the distribution, breeding, eggs, habitat, song, plumage, behaviour, nesting and food of birds. These formed the basis of his four-volume The Natural History of Ireland, and were much used by contemporary and later authors such as Francis Orpen Morris.
