Platydoris ellioti is large and flat with a wide mantle and narrow body. The rhinophore sheaths
are raised and the gill sheath is raised and developed into 6 lobes. The dorsum is translucent brown
with small brownish blotches scattered all over. Around the mantle edge there is a band of greenish
grey blotches. Grows to at least 11 cm in length.
A recent review (Dorgan, Valdés & Gosliner, 2002) shows Platydoris speciosa (Abraham, 1877) [Doris]
to be a junior synonym of Platydoris ellioti.
