Discodorididae
The family Discodorididae includes flattened dorids with tubercles, papillae or caryophyllidia on the notum. Most are cryptic and nocturnal. It was recently revised to include the families Archidorididae, Asteronotidae, Kentrodorididae, Platydorididae, and Rostangidae. It is the largest nudibranch family in Hawaii with about 64 known species in 15 genera (Asteronotus, Atagema, Carminodoris, Diaulula, Discodoris, Geitodoris, Halgerda, Hiatodoris, Jorunna, Otinodoris, Paradoris, Peltodoris, Platydoris, Rostanga, Sclerodoris, and Thordisa).

The animal referred to as "Another rigid species with broad thin margins..." on page 182 of Edmondson, 1946 is probably in this family but is likely unassignable. Dai Mar Tamarack sent a photo of an animal that may turn out to be an additional species of Rostanga. However, it requires confirmation.
