Photographic identification review

Evidence for this exact frame

Reviewed hypotheses are preserved separately from the current archive label and from iNaturalist computer vision. They record what the photograph supports, what remains plausible, and what the frame cannot resolve.

Conclusion: Thuridilla cf. bayeri (bayeri-like morphotype)

Reviewed by Codex evidence audit on Aug 27, 2026 · 55% reviewer confidence.

Reasoning recorded at review

  • Dark body with fine cream-yellow longitudinal lines
  • Red-orange parapodial edge interrupted by black dashes
  • Several bright blue ovoid submarginal spots

Alternatives considered

  • Thuridilla sp. 4 sensu Martín-Hervás et al. (2021)

    Why plausible: Paper identifies sp. 4 as a bayeri-like lineage with fewer sky-blue spots

    Comparison: Rhinophore pattern is not visible and the folded animal prevents a reliable full spot count

  • Thuridilla sp. 8 sensu Martín-Hervás et al. (2021)

    Why plausible: Paper identifies sp. 8 as another bayeri-like lineage

    Comparison: Rhinophores must show white longitudinal lines between the middle and orange tips; they are not visible here
