Kaloplocamus maculatus is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae.
Distribution
[edit]This species was described from Chile[1] as Euplocamus maculatus. Recent finds of larger animals from this area suggest that it may actually be a Plocamopherus species, but the name Plocamopherus maculatus is occupied by another species.[2]
