Hypselodoris nigrostriata is characterized by dark blackish lines, usually diagonal, and yellowish patches between (here pretty bad visible). The background colour of the body has a bluish or purplish tinge, the rhinophores are orange red and the gills are edged with the same colour.
Pretty similar are
Hypselodoris zephyra which differs by its oblique dark blackish lines, and its simple gills.
Hypselodoris maritima which has a blue submarginal mantle border and a yellow band inside.
