Polycera Quadrilineata
''Polycera quadrilineata'', is a sea slug, a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Polyceridae. The specific epithet ''quadrilineata'' means four-lined and refers to the four longitudinal black lines present on the original specimen. This species is sometimes called the fourline nudibranch. In 2020 a integrative molecular and morphological study showed that ''P. quadrilineata'' was a complex of two species in the NE Atlantic and one of these species was given the new name '' Polycera norvegica''. Distribution This nudibranch was described originally from Norway. In the NE Atlantic it is a common species in shallow water.Picton, B.E. & Morrow, C.C., 2010''Polycera quadrilineata'' n/nowiki> Encyclopedia of Marine Life of Britain and Ireland. It is distributed from Greenland to Norway and south along the European coasts into the Mediterranean Sea. It is found from the intertidal zone to 160 m.
