About Pleurolidia juliae Burn, 1966
Pleurolidia juliae is an aeolid nudibranch with a slender, cylindrical black body and rounded foot corners. A broad, irregular white line runs along its dorsal midline, and its oral tentacles are tipped with white. Its rhinophores are greyish, covered in white specks over warts, and also have white tips. The cerata of this species are arranged in small, not always symmetrical groups that may sometimes follow a zigzag pattern, and they extend from behind the rhinophores all the way to the posterior end of the body. The cerata are black, with opaque white spots across their surface and translucent white tips. This species has frequently been illustrated as Protaeolidiella atra in many published works. It was first described from Lord Howe Island, Australia, and has also been reported from Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, the Philippines, Palau, Hawaii, and Japan.
