Pseudunela espiritusanta is a species of sea slug, an acochlidian, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudunelidae.
Its specific name is a reference to Espiritu Santo Island in Vanuatu, where it was found.[2]
This species, from Espiritu Santo Island in Vanuatu, lives in brackish water. The other two species in the genus Pseudunela are fully marine.[2]
