Ceratosoma pustulosum is a species of sea slug or dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.[2]
Distribution
This species was described from Timor.[3]
Description
The type specimen of Ceratosoma pustulosum is in Muséum Nationale d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris and was studied by Pruvot-Fol.[4] It is similar to Ceratosoma brevicaudatum but is unlikely to be the same species as this is a warm temperate species. It is currently not identifiable with any records since 1804.[3]
