Conclusion: Thuridilla cf. sp. 7 sensu Martín-Hervás et al. (2021)
Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 85% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Rhinophore tip is black
- A narrow orange-red band lies immediately below the black tip
- A conspicuously wider white band lies below the orange-red band
- The visible band order and relative widths match Fig. 5(h)
Alternatives considered
- Thuridilla sp. 6 sensu Martín-Hervás et al. (2021)
Why plausible: Same black, orange-red and white apical sequence
Comparison: Fig. 5(g) shows a much wider orange-red band and narrower white band
- Thuridilla gracilis
Why plausible: Current canonical label and superficially similar complex member
Comparison: Fig. 5(a) lacks the broad white subapical band visible in this photograph
