Extended diagnosis. Body wide. Four to five (plus one–two posterior) pairs of dorsolateral appendages. Six to 12 appendages of oral veil. Three to seven appendages (equal in size) of rhinophoral stalks. Lateral papilla of rhinophoral sheaths absent. Rhinophores with 9–17 lamellae. No lip papillae reported in the first description. Basal colour yellowwhite, palepink to red-brown, with red-brown spots and tiny opaque white spots scattered over whole body, solid white line along edge of foot and oral veil. Dorsal processes of jaws inclined posteriorly at approximately 50° to the longitudinal axis of the jaw body. Masticatory processes bear distinct denticles which increase in size towards the distal end of the process. Radula with upto 41 rows of teeth. Central tooth with up to 25 denticles. Up to 14 lateral teeth with up to 12 denticles. Ampulla voluminous, folded. Bursa copulatrix large, oval. Seminal receptaculum very small and placed distally at a short distance from the vaginal opening. Prostate discoid with about 11–16 alveolar glands. The vas deferens is long, penis short, conical. Body length up to 60 mm.
Distribution. NE Pacific, Washington and Oregon, USA.
Bathymetry. Depths of 18–40 m (soft substratum).
Remarks. Externally, D. albopunctatus is somewhat similar to other species that also inhabit soft substrata, such as D. robustus and D. velifer . However, its radular characters are more similar to those of the majority of Dendronotus species.
