Doto escatllari is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dotidae.

Distribution

This species was first described from the Canary Islands. It has subsequently been reported from the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica,[1] Barbados[2] and Panama.[3]

Description

The body is short and narrow.[3] Rhinophores are smooth and with opaque white dots.[3] Rhinophoral sheaths are with small frontal extensions.[3] Cerata are large with rounded tubercles; apical tubercles much larger than the rest.[3] The cerata are translucent blue, and the ceratal tubercles have no dark spots and contain dense concentrations of rounded hyaline glandular structures.[4] Background color is translucent gray with a series of dark brown spots on the dorsum.[3] Cerata are with dark brown branches of the digestive gland and bluish tubercles.[3] This dendronotid nudibranch is translucent white with mid-sized black spots scattered over the top and sides of the body.[4] In the internal base of the ceratal peduncle there is a black mark below the three-lobed transparent pseudobranch.[4]

The maximum recorded body length is 5 mm[3] or 6 mm.[5]

Ecology

Minimum recorded depth is 1 m.[5] Maximum recorded depth is 4 m.[5]

Doto escatllari was found associated with small hydroids[3] of the family Sertulariidae; these are probably its prey.Шаблон:Citation needed
