It was previously considered a subspecies of Doriopsilla areolata Bergh, 1880 by Valdés & Ortea (1997),[2] but Valdés & Hamann (2008)[3] confirmed that it is a distinct species.[1]

Distribution[]

Distribution of Doriopsilla nigrolineata includes Panama and Honduras.[1]

Description[]

The shape of the body is oval to elongate.[1] Dorsum is rigid and covered with rounded tubercles.[1] Background color is translucent white to orange, with a series of irregular black lines over the entire dorsum.[1] Bases of tubercles are densely spotted with white.[1] Rhinophores and gill are yellow.[1] The maximum recorded body length is 30 mm.[4][1]
