Aegires villosus Farran, 1905

At least six specimens of Aegires villosus have been recorded in the Marshalls, all from Enewetak Atoll. All were under rocks on lagoon and pinnacle reefs at depths of 5 to 20 meters, and they measured up from 5 to 9mm in length. The Marshall Islands specimens were all more heavily pigmented with purple magenta and orange than those from other areas figured on the Sea Slug Forum.
