Distribution
This species was described from a specimen collected by William Healey Dall in Alaska at Kyska Island, Aleutian Islands. It is considered by some authors to be a synonym of Onchidoris muricata. The name was used incorrectly for the species Diaphorodoris lirulatocauda on the Pacific coast of the USA and Canada.
