Doris kerguelenensis is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dorididae.^[2]

Distribution

The type locality for this species is the Kerguelen Islands. It has been widely reported all round Antarctica but molecular investigations suggest that it consists of a species complex and many of the synonymised names may be valid.^[3]^[4]
