| Summary: | [eng] We report on the presence of four species of sea slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) from the Balearic Islands. The exotic sea hare Bursatella leachii Blainville, 1817 was extremely common in the shallow sandy bottoms of Alcudia Bay (Mallorca) in October 2022. The nudibranch Martadoris mediterranea (Domínguez, Pola & Ramon, 2015) was observed in the rocky habitats dominated by the seaweed Osmundaria volubilis (Linnaeus) R.E.Norris in Na Foradada (Arxipèlag de Cabrera) in September 2020. The sacoglossans Aplysiopsis elegans Deshayes, 1853 and Caliphylla mediterranea A. Costa, 1867 were recorded living inside the fronds of an unidentified species of the green alga Bryopsis in Cala en Blanes (Menorca) in October 2022. |
