Conclusion: Siphopteron nakakatuwa
Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 96% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Compact gastropterid body with cephalic siphon and posterior flagellum
- Uniform vivid orange ground colour
- Several large sharply defined opaque-white spots
- Narrow pale triangular marking visible toward the posterior foot
Alternatives considered
- Siphopteron flavolineatum
Why plausible: Closest integratively compared relative
Comparison: That species is ochre with dark siphon and flagellum tips and a narrow yellow medial foot line, which are not visible here
- Other Siphopteron species
Why plausible: Internal penial and radular characters remain unavailable
Comparison: Specimen anatomy and DNA would confirm the species
Evidence limits & sources +−
- • No radular, penial or molecular evidence
