About Chromodoris kuiteri Rudman, 1982

Description: Like many other species in the genus Chromodoris, Chromodoris kuiteri has a mantle with a white base color and three longitudinal black stripes. In this species, the black stripes are extremely wide, which leaves only thin lines of white between them. Even the narrow gap between the outermost white line and the broad orange mantle margin is filled with black. The rhinophores and gills of this species are bright orange. Distribution: This species is only confirmed to occur in northern New South Wales and Queensland, Australia, and it may also be found in northwestern Western Australia.
