Berghia major is characterized by a brown or brownish-green background colour with a pattern of light, sometimes whitish patches over cerata and body. The cerata are curved and flattened, often with blue and yellow markings. There is usually a distinctive pattern of white bands around a brown circle at the base of the oral tentacles. This shot shows a specimen laying eggs.
Pretty similar is Berghia salaamica which has white patches on the body, and differs by long and cylindrical cerata.

Now (15 February 2011) I follow IPN which places it because of the papillate rhinophores on page 403 in the genus Berghia:
