On two new Phyllidia species (Gastropoda, Nudibranchia, Doridina) and some histology from the Coral Triangle
Two new species of <i>Phyllidia</i> from North Sulawesi, Indonesia, <i>Phyllidiafontjei</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> and <i>Phyllidiaovata</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, are described based on morphology and molecular barcoding of CO1 and/or 16S. Both species are rare and distinctive and can be easily recognised by their colouration. Additionally, histological sections were made of the holotype of <i>Phyllidiafontjei</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> and a similarly sized <i>Phyllidiaocellata</i> and these morphologies are compared with the only other detailed histological examination of the Mediterranean <i>Phyllidiaflava</i>.
