SUMMARY
“Elysia cf. marginata sp.3": Overall darker coloration than other members of the marginata-grandifolia complex. Parapodial edges ruffled, with three successive colored bands: (1) continuous, thick, black marginal band; (2) bright white submarginal band; (3) dull orange-red submarginal band, farthest from the edge. Sides of parapodia dotted by brown-black spots of uneven size, with white patches forming zig-zags along body. Squared-off tail with orange and black marginal bands running along edge. Rhinophores white-tipped with distal orange band and white streaks along distal half. Renopericardium longer and more elongate than in other marginata complex members; white with black spots.
