A redescription of Facelina stearnsi Cockerell, 1901 (Nudibranchia: Aeolidacea: Facelinidae) with a reassignment of its generic placementWA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 7 years agoABSTRACT – Facelina stearnsi Cockerell, 1901 is known from Santa Cruz (Nelson 1986) to La Jolla, California (Behrens 1991). Several preserved specimens are examined and compared with the original description and other species in the genus Austraeolis Burn, 1962. The coloration, reproductive and radular morphology are described in detail for the first time using SEM, compound microscopy and photographs of live specimens. Observation of several new morphological and anatomical characters suggests a reassignment of Facelina stearnsi to the genus Austraeolis Burn, 1962. Author(s) Jamie M. Chan and Terrence M.
