Identification:  This is a bluish-white animal dusted with slate-blue flecks. The rhinophores and branchia are tipped with cream and have green-brown subapical patches. A few small, light-colored tubercles are scattered around the mid-line of its notum. The papillae seem more closely spaced than in Doris pecten. Natural history:  Doris(?) sp. #1 is known from two animals found under rocks at about 1 m (3 ft) in 1978 and a third animal found at.about 2 m (about 6 ft) at a moderately exposed site in 2022. The latter animal was on a purple-beige sponge. (Karolle Wall, pers. com.). Distribution:  Maui and Oahu. Taxonomic notes:  It was first recorded in Hawaii at Kewalo Reef, Oahu by Scott Johnson on June 3, 1978. The background color, slate-blue flecks, overall texture and presence of small tubercles around the mid-line support lumping the 1978 and 2022 animals. The genus and family are uncertain.
