Photographic identification review

Evidence for this exact frame

Reviewed hypotheses are preserved separately from the current archive label and from iNaturalist computer vision. They record what the photograph supports, what remains plausible, and what the frame cannot resolve.

Conclusion: Favorinus sp. (perfoliatus-like morphotype)

Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 90% reviewer confidence.

Reasoning recorded at review

  • Same distinctive cream cerata with violet subapical rings seen more clearly than in IMG_6948
  • Strongly perfoliate rhinophores
  • White head with orange longitudinal lines
  • Long oral tentacles and Favorinus-like aeolid proportions

Alternatives considered

  • Favorinus perfoliatus

    Why plausible: Lamellate rhinophores are its most relevant published external feature

    Comparison: Modern revision, specimen anatomy and DNA are needed before using the formal name

  • Other facelinid aeolid

    Why plausible: Ceratal bands alone are not genus-exclusive

    Comparison: Feeding ecology and internal anatomy are needed

Evidence limits & sources +
  • • No observed egg-mass association
  • • No radular, reproductive or molecular evidence
