| Popis: | The examination of a collection of nudibranchs (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) obtained during several expeditions to international waters off Newfoundland, North Atlantic, revealed the presence of rare species, new records for the area, and an undescribed species ofTritonia(described herein). This includes the first record ofDendronotus niveusEkimova, Korshunova, Schepetov, Neretina, Sanamyan and Martynov, 2015 from the Atlantic Ocean and numerous specimens of the rare speciesDoridoxa ingolfianaBergh, 1899, which is here redescribed. Other species collected areFlabellinacf.salmonacea(Couthouy, 1838),Dendronotus frondosus(Ascanius, 1774),Dendronotus robustusA. E. Verrill, 1870,Aldisa zetlandica(Alder & Hancock, 1854),Onchidoris bilamellata(Linnaeus, 1767),Colga villosa(Odhner, 1907) as well as an unidentified species ofAeolidiella. Anatomical characteristics and genetic barcode data are used to identify the species whenever it was possible. Ecological data, including substrate, associated fauna and bathymetric range are provided. |
