There are many similar coloured chromodorids which Bill Rudman calls the "Chromodoris quadricolor colour group" of
species characterised by black longitudinal lines, bluish backgrounds and orange borders. Chromodoris strigata can be distinguished by a characteristic pattern of dark translucent patches on the dorsum. They are arranged in a regular pattern, a pair behind the rhinophores, one in the centre of the dorsum and a pair just anterior to the gills.
Chromodoris strigata differs from Chromodoris cf. strigata by having no orange longitudinal lines.
I have posted more pictures than usal of this species to show this specimen on its egg-mass.
