Description
Dendronotus kamchaticus has a patterned body which is similar to Dendronotus frondosus, Dendronotus kalikal and Dendronotus venustus. It is distinguished from these species by details of the colour pattern, the branching of the dorsal appendages (cerata), the smooth median tooth of the radula in adults and molecular characters.
