Nembrotha Purpureolineata
''Nembrotha purpureolineata'' is a species of colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. ''Nembrotha rutilans'', classified as a separate species until 2008, has now been reclassified as ''Nembrotha purpureolineata''.Pola M., Cervera J. L. & Gosliner T. M. (2008) "Revision of the Indo-Pacific genus ''Nembrotha'' (Nudibranchia: Dorididae: Polyceridae), with description of two new species". ''Scientia Marina'' 72(1): 145-183. Taxonomy ''Nembrotha purpureolineata'' was first described from a preserved specimen collected from Abrolhos Islands off Western Australia by O'Donoghue in 1924. The short colour description given is probably enough to identify it to be the same as ''Nembrotha rutilans'' ( Pruvot-Fol, 1931). The description of this species was done purely from a painting of marine life on the Great Barrier Reef in a book by William Saville-Kent, (1893) William Saville-Kent W.

Nembrotha Kubaryana
''Nembrotha kubaryana'', also known as the variable neon slug or the dusky nembrotha, is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.Bouchet, P. (2014). Nembrotha kubaryana Bergh, 1877. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=527322 on 2014-12-21 Synonymy Its synonyms include ''Nembrotha nigerrima''. The two names ''Nembrotha nigerrima'' and ''N. kubaryana'' were published simultaneously by Rudolph Bergh in 1877, the first one on page 451, the second on page 454. Yonow & Hayward (1991) treated the two names as synonyms and, acting as first revisers, gave precedence to ''kubaryana'' over ''nigerrima''. Pola et al. (2008) agreed with the synonymy, but initially rejected Yonow & Hayward's nomenclatural act, arguing that ''nigerrima'' had page precedence over ''kubaryana''. However, the ICZN Code does not contain such a thing as "page precedence", and Yon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nembrotha Lineolata
''Nembrotha lineolata'' is a species of nudibranch, a sea slug, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae. It is found in shallow water in the Indo-Pacific. It was first described in 1905 by the Danish malacologist Rudolph Bergh. The type locality is Selayar Island, Indonesia. Description ''Nembrotha lineolata'' grows to a length of about . The body is slender with a rounded head at one end and a pointed tip to the foot at the other. The exterior of the body is covered with longitudinal wrinkles and there is no sharp demarcation between the dorsal surface and the lateral surfaces. The oral tentacles are thick and long and the large conical rhinophores bear about thirty lamellae and can be retracted. The three large pinnate branchial plumes on the dorsal surface are non-retractile and the anus is located between them. The colouring of this nudibranch is variable across the animal's range. The body colour is creamy-white with narrow longitudinal lines, some broken, in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nembrotha Milleri
''Nembrotha milleri'' is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae. This species was named after the nudibranch enthusiast Michael D. Miller.Rudman, W.B., 2000 (July 30''Nembrotha milleri'' Gosliner & Behrens, 1997. nSea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Distribution This species occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean.

Nembrotha Chamberlaini
''Nembrotha chamberlaini'' is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae. It was first described in 1997. Distribution This species is known only from the Philippines and Indonesia Description ''Nembrotha chamberlaini'' is white with streaks of orange, yellow, green, or black and occasionally yellow splashed across the upper mantle. It has very distinctive bright red gills and rhinophores. The foot and mouth parts are typically light-purple.

''Nembrotha chamberlaini'' is easily confused with ''Nembrotha aurea'' and ''Nembrotha purpureolineata''. All three species have a similar range of color variation although ''N. aurea'' often has orange patches not present in ''Nembrotha chamberlaini''. ''N. chamberlaini'' can reach a length of 100 mm.

Nudibranch
Nudibranchs () are a group of soft-bodied marine gastropod molluscs which shed their shells after their larval stage. They are noted for their often extraordinary colours and striking forms, and they have been given colourful nicknames to match, such as "clown", "marigold", "splendid", "dancer", "dragon", or "sea rabbit". Currently, about 3,000 valid species of nudibranchs are known.Ocean Portal (2017)A Collage of Nudibranch Colors Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Retrieved 17 April 2018. The word "nudibranch" comes from the Latin "naked" and the Ancient Greek () " gills". Nudibranchs are often casually called sea slugs, as they are a family of opistobranchs (sea slugs), within the phylum Mollusca (molluscs), but many sea slugs belong to several taxonomic groups which are not closely related to nudibranchs. A number of these other sea slugs, such as the photosynthetic '' Sacoglossa'' and the colourful Aglajidae, are often confused with nudibranchs. Dist ...
