Click the thumbnail photos to enhance!

Baeolidia sp. 01 is characterized by its pinkish papillate rhinophores, the pinkish purple ovals on the translucent notum which are surrounded by bright yellow areas forming broad yellow bands to the edge of the translucent foot. The pinkish-grey cerata are smooth and curved with dark pink at the tips.
There are many records of Baeolidia sp. 01 at the internet from
the Philippines, Batangas region, (1) (2) (3) and Palawan
Indonesia, Lembeh (1) (2) (3) and
the Marshall Islands
The placement in the genus Baeolidia is speculative, I follow:
Gosliner, Terrence M., David W. Behrens & Ángel Valdés. 2008. Indo-Pacific Nudibranchs and Sea Slugs. Sea Challengers Natural History Books.
Gig Harbor, Washington. 426pp.
there it is as Baeolidia sp. 3 at page 406
It was posted at these websites before as Baeolidia sp. A Genus: Bergh, 1888.
For some genera, such as Trinchesia was the alphabet almost through. I had to change the distinguishing alphabetic character into a number. I have chosen 2-digit numbers, even if '01' looks a little bit stupid, and now is only the genus italic written.
