Identification:  This is a small cream species flecked with white. The white flecks are concentrated into three clusters on each side of the notum and a few narrow, crisp brown lines radiate from the clusters. The branchia are located far to the rear and there is a brown ring around the base of the anal papilla. The rhinophores are cream with dark brown medial splotches on their dorsal surfaces. The crisp brown lines, brown ringed anal papilla and brown splotches on the rhinophores distinguish it from Paradoris sp. #4. Natural history:  Unidentified discodorid sp. #8 is known from only three animals. Two were found in protected to exposed rocky habitats at depths of about 1 m (3 ft) while the third was found in a Halimeda kanaloana bed at 9-11 m (30-36 ft). Distribution:  Maui: possibly known from Japan. Taxonomic notes:  It was first recorded in Hawaii from Hekili Point, Maui by CP on Oct. 28, 1993. Some sources place it in the genus Tayuva.
