Crimora edwardsi is a species of colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.[2]
Distribution
[edit]This species was described from Port Jackson, New South Wales, Australia.
Description
[edit]The illustration of Angas appears to show a species of Crimora, not Nembrotha. O'Donoghue (1924)[3] did not replace the name Nembrotha with Angasiella because he did not believe this species belonged to Nembrotha.[4] It has been rediscovered in southern Queensland.[5]
