Note added 30 April 2007: Until now on the Forum this species has been considered a form of C. sinuata [see message #19854]. It is now recognised as C. flavicostata.

This is Miamira sinuata, fairly common throughout the Indo-West Pacific. There are a number of colour forms which have been given distinct names such as Miamira nobilis, Miamira magnifica and Miamira flavicostata. Some authors consider Miamira to belong to the Chromodorididae or to be very closely related.
