This paper describes four new Chromodoris species: Chromodoris balat sp. nov., Chromodoris baqe sp. nov., Chromodoris kalawakan sp. nov., and Chromodoris quagga sp. nov. We were able to distinguish 44 species level lineages within Chromodoris, expanding the Indo-Pacific species from 39 species. The phylogeny presented here provides slightly greater resolution of species relationships than do previous studies of this genus. Layton et al. (2018), determined that variable color patterns made it difficult to differentiate in living specimens of distinct species, but we provide some additional stable color characters that potentially help resolve this issue, as well as additional internal features that are useful in species delimitation and correlate with the molecular phylogenetic analysis.
新种巴拉特多彩海蛞蝓（Chromodoris balat sp. nov.）、新种巴凯多彩海蛞蝓（Chromodoris baqe sp. nov.）、新种卡拉瓦坎多彩海蛞蝓（Chromodoris kalawakan sp. nov.）和新种斑驴多彩海蛞蝓（Chromodoris quagga sp. nov.）。我们能够在多彩海蛞蝓属中区分出44个物种水平的谱系，将印度-太平洋地区的物种从39种增加到了这些。这里呈现的系统发育关系比该属之前的研究提供了稍高的物种关系分辨率。莱顿等人（2018年）确定，可变的颜色模式使得在不同物种的活体标本中难以区分，但我们提供了一些额外的稳定颜色特征，可能有助于解决这个问题，以及在物种界定中有用且与分子系统发育分析相关的额外内部特征。
