The study of a well-preserved collection of discodorid nudibranchs collected in Koumac, New Caledonia, revealed the presence of seven species new to science belonging to the genera , , , and , although some of the generic assignments are tentative as the phylogeny of Discodorididae remains unresolved. Moreover, a poorly known species of originally described from New Caledonia is re-described and the presence of in New Caledonia is confirmed with molecular data. All the species described herein are highly cryptic on their food source and in the context of the present study the term "cryptic" is used to denote such species. This paper highlights the importance of comprehensive collecting efforts to identify and document well-camouflaged taxa.
对在新喀里多尼亚库马克收集的保存完好的盘舌海蛞蝓样本进行研究后发现，有七个科学上新物种，分属于 、 、 和 属，不过由于盘舌海蛞蝓科的系统发育仍未明确，部分属的归类是暂定的。此外，最初在新喀里多尼亚描述的一种鲜为人知的 物种被重新描述，并且通过分子数据证实了新喀里多尼亚存在 。本文所描述的所有物种在其食物来源方面都非常隐秘，在本研究中，“隐秘”一词用于指代此类物种。本文强调了全面收集工作对于识别和记录伪装良好的分类群的重要性。
