Chromodoris sp. 2

( Figure 4 I )

Material examined. One specimen. MB28-004845, ZDN, 18 May 2011, 60m, 29mm.

Habitats. Subtropical rocky reefs.

Occurrences. Zavora.

Geographic distribution. Western Indian Ocean. South Africa (V. Fraser & J. Toms, pers. communication) and Mozambique.

Remarks. This species is externally similar to Chromodoris strigata but it differs by the presence of an oval black band surrounding the rhinophores and gills. The preliminary analyses of the genetic distance of the gene COI revealed a p -distance of 7% between this specimen and exemplars of C. strigata .
