sp. #2

 
Carminodoris sp. #2

However, it differs from that species in having proportionately smaller tubercles. The middle of the notum is redish and there are 3-4 slightly enlarged tubercles with white tips on each side.

Natural history:  Carminodoris sp. #2 is known from only five or six animals.

Distribution:  Big Island, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, French Frigate Shoals and Maro Reef.
