This species has a characteristic pattern of dark translucent patches on the dorsum. They are arranged in a regular pattern, a pair behind the rhinophores, one in the centre of the dorsum and a pair just anterior to the gills.
This is another of the Chromodoris quadricolor colour-group of species. It has some similarities to Chromodoris elisabethina. See also Chromodoris cf. strigata and Chromodoris cf. strigata (2)
