Ancula lentiginosa Farmer & Sloan, 1964
This minute nudibranch is translucent white in colour with brown patches or stripes composed of small brown spots interspersed with white pigment. The pre-rhinophoral papillae, rhinophore clubs and gills are similarly mottled with brown and there is a line of brown spots along the ridge of the tail. There are two extra-branchial papillae which are translucent white with a band of brown spots below the tip.
Ancula lentiginosa feeds on Barentsia sp.(Entoprocta) which often grow on hydroids, bryozoa and other living substrata
Similar to Trapania goddardi and Okenia angelensis.
