Peltodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Discodorididae.[2][3]

This genus differs from Discodoris by its lack of labial armature.[4] It feeds on sponges, favouring two genera.[5]

And some of these species, such as Peltodoris nobilis, give off a strong lemony scent when rubbed vigorously.[6]
