Valdés, 2011

Dendronotus patricki Stout et al., 2011: 63–67 , Figs 2–4 .

Diagnosis (original description). Body broad. Three to four pairs of branched dorsolateral appendages. Six appendages of oral veil. Four appendages (posterior ones long) of rhinophoral stalks. Lateral papilla of rhinophoral sheaths absent. Number of rhinophoral lamellae and lip papillae not indicated in the original description. Colour uniformly reddish brown (appears in original description as rather pinkish) with a semitransparent body. Masticatory processeses with ridge-like structures. Radula with up to 31 rows of teeth. Central tooth with up to 20 small denticles without furrows. Up to eight lateral teeth without denticles. Ampulla moderately voluminous with two folded loops. Bursa copulatrix very large, rounded to oval. Seminal receptaculum moderate in size placed distally near the vaginal opening. Prostate discoid with range at least 10 alveolar glands. The vas deferens is very long, penis relatively long, straight, conical. Body length up to 25 mm.

Distribution. Whalefall ‘Patrick’ area (36º42’ 30.31’’ N, 122º 06’ 18.72’’W), Monterey Canyon, USA.
