Hexabranchus digitatus Eliot (1903)

Description notes Species described from a badly preserved specimen with no illustration and no details of coloration or characteristics of the living specimen: reproductive system, nervous system, and buccal mass cited as “usual” (pg. 903); size 78 mm; mantle extremely wide and wrinkled; oral tentacles deeply crenate; three digitate mantle projections on head; gill branches too badly conserved to enable counting. Own conclusion/opinion on its taxonomic status The description of this species is too poor for any conclusion so it should be considered a nomen dubium.
