Peltodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Discodorididae. [2] [3]
This genus differs from Discodoris by its lack of labial armature. [4] It feeds on sponges, favouring two genera.[5]
And some of these species, such as Peltodoris nobilis, give off a strong lemony scent when rubbed vigorously. [6]
