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.
