Aegires citrinus is characterised by the complete yellow mantle,
which is in line with the species name: modern Latin citrinus = lemon-colored.
It was first placed in the genus Notodoris. I'm following the recent paper:
Fahey S.J. & T.M. Gosliner. 2004. A Phylogenetic Analysis of the Aegiridae
Fischer, 1883 (Mollusca, Nudibranchia, Phanerobranchia) with Descriptions
of Eight New Species and a Reassessment of Phanerobranch Relationships.
Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences 55 (34): 613-689, 82
figs., 4 tables. and place the genus Notodoris into Aegires.
