Aiteng mysticus

Summary

Aiteng mysticus is a species of sea slug in the family Aitengidae,[1][3] found around Hisamatsu, Miyako-jima, Okinawa, Japan.[4] Morphologically it clearly belongs to the Aitengidae, but it shows differences to Aiteng ater at genus or species level.[4] Its affinity to Aiteng ater is confirmed by comparison of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences.[4]
