Facelina schwobi
(Labbé, 1923)[1]

Facelina schwobi is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Facelinidae.[2]

Distribution

This species was described from Le Croisic on the Atlantic coast of France.[1] Only reported once since the original description.[3]

Description

Facelina schwobi is described as having the digestive gland in the cerata a brown colour, similar to Facelina bostoniensis (Acanthopsole drummondi) but with bright ruby rings at the base and top. This is similar to the coloration of the digestive gland in Facelina auriculata.
