The sacoglossan Elysia sp. 16 is not yet identified or still undescribed, I call it Elysia sp. 16 to distinguish it from other species of Elysia, until I know its name.
Elysia sp. 16 is caracterized by its appearance: diffuse dark greyish with an opaque blue tinge. It is covered with minute opaque white spots, which concentrate behind the rhinophores forming a diffuse opaque white patch. The rhinophores and the parapodia are also diffuse dark greyish with an opaque blue tinge.
