Dendrodoris krusensternii ( Gray, 1850) View in CoL

( Figure 22 J–L View FIGURE 22 , 23 A View FIGURE 23 )

Material examined. Four specimens. MHN-YT83, ZRP, 10 Dec. 2011, 2m, 35mm; MB28-004727, PCR, 15 Aug. 2013, 0.5m, 41mm; MB28-004728, PACG, 15 Aug. 2013, 0.5m, 36mm; MB28-0 0 4839, POB, 0 9 May 2014, 18m, 35mm.

Habitats. Subtropical tidal reefs and rocky reefs.

Occurrences. Ponta do Ouro, Zavora and Paindane.

Geographic distribution. Indo-west, central Pacific. Hawaii ( Gosliner 1987), Midway Atoll (Gosliner et al. 2008), Japan ( Baba 1949), Australia ( Angas 1864), Korea, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Réunion Island (Gosliner et al. 2008), South Africa ( Gosliner 1987) and Mozambique ( Macnae &Kalk 1958; King & Fraser 2014).

Remarks. Two distinguished morphotypes were found in Mozambique and require further investigation. One morphotype has a purple dorsum with elevated tubercles ( Fig. 22 J View FIGURE 22 ) and a purple foot ( Fig. 21K View FIGURE 21 ) whereas the second is brown with a white patch on the dorsum ( Fig. 22 L View FIGURE 22 ) and a brown ventral surface with a yellow margin ( Fig. 23 A View FIGURE 23 ). According to Valdés & Fahey (2006) it is not clear if D. krusensternii is a senior synonym of Dendrodoris denisoni ( Angas, 1864) .
