Conclusion: Chelidonura pallida

Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 92% reviewer confidence.

Reasoning recorded at review

  • Predominantly opaque white body
  • Thin black marginal line around the head shield and parapodial edge
  • Orange-yellow band immediately inside the black margin
  • Elongate head-shield sea-slug form consistent with Chelidonura

Alternatives considered

  • Chelidonura electra

    Why plausible: Another predominantly white Chelidonura

    Comparison: C. electra is described with yellow edging but without the diagnostic outer black line visible here

Evidence limits & sources +
  • • Tail proportions and internal anatomy are not resolved
