Distribution

This species was described from specimens found beneath stones in the intertidal region at False Narrows, Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, Canada. It has been reported from Kiska Island, Alaska to Morro Bay, California.[3] It has been considered to be a synonym of Acanthodoris pilosa by many authors but has been shown to be a distinct species by molecular phylogeny.[4][5][6]
