Peronia anomala is a species of air-breathing sea slug, a shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Onchidiidae.[1] It is the most recently discovered species of the genus of Peronia, found in the Red Sea in 1934.[2]

Description

[edit]

The sea-slug has a small pleural tooth 54μ wide, described by Labbé as "a bit like P. verruclata". Their size ranged from 10 to 5 mm in length and they have a very contacted body, almost globular.[3] They also have thin integuments and a slightly pigmented pleural cavity.

Distribution

[edit]

P. anomala lives in a marine biome sea habitat.[4]
