Anteaeolidiella indica is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Aeolidiidae.

Distribution

This species was described from Mauritius. It has been erroneously reported as a widespread species occurring in the Mediterranean Sea; the Caribbean Sea, South Africa from Saldanha Bay to southern KwaZulu Natal and New Zealand. These records represent a complex of distinct species.[2]

Description

Bergh[3] described this species based on Moebius’ drawings and notes. The coloration of the living animal was depicted as white, yellow, and grey, including the oral tentacles and the rhinophores. Miller[4] designated Aeolidiella indica as the type species of Anteaeolidiella, although his specimen did not match the coloration described by Bergh and was probably Anteaeolidiella lurana.[2]

The maximum recorded body length is 40 mm.[5]

Habitat

Minimum recorded depth is 0 m.[5] Maximum recorded depth is 0 m.[5]
