Anteaeolidiella orientalis is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Aeolidiidae.[3][4]

This species was described from a specimen collected at Noordwachter Island, northwest of Java, Indonesia.[4] Eolidina mannarensis, described from Mandapam, Gulf of Mannar, India,[2] is its junior synonym.[3]

Description

Anteaeolidiella orientalis has been synonymised with Anteaeolidiella indica in the past, but differs from that species in having white rhinophores with red or orange tips.[4]
