Summary ⁶

While technically named for Dr. Diva Diniz Corrêa, I usually like to think of this slug singing underwater arias when I'm not looking, and thus I generally refer to it as "The Diva," at least to myself. While superficially similar to several other white-and-pink aeolids, The Diva can be distinguished by the combination of simple rhinophores, pink-cored cerata, and some cerata that emerge anterior to the rhinophore, giving it a somewhat mutton-chopped appearance that makes the diva image all the more satisfying.
