Onchidoris derjugini is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae.[2]
Distribution
[edit]This species was described from the Japan Sea on the Pacific Ocean coast of Russia. The specific name commemorates Konstantin Deryugin.
Description
[edit]Millen (1987) considers this species to be poorly described. "It can be distinguished by its undenticulated lateral teeth, larger number of marginal teeth (9 vs. 4-6) and tripinnate gills. These characteristics suggest that Adalaria derjugini is probably a species of Acanthodoris."[3]
