Aiteng mysticus

Aiteng mysticus is a species of sea slug in the family Aitengidae,^[1][3] found around Hisamatsu, Miyako-jima, Okinawa, Japan.^[4] Morphologically it clearly belongs to the Aitengidae, but it shows differences to Aiteng ater at genus or species level.^[4] Its affinity to Aiteng ater is confirmed by comparison of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences.^[4]
