Eubranchus vittatus is a species of sea slug or nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Eubranchidae. [2]
(Original description) The colour of the slender body of the snail is pale buff speckled with fawn-colour. Its head is rather large and truncated in front. The dorsal tentaculaare slightly conical, wrinkled, fawn-coloured, with pale tips. The oral tentacula are rather shorter than the dorsal ones and of the same colour. The branchiae are somewhat clavate, long, with obtuse terminations, very pale fawn-coloured, with three darker bands of the same colour. They are set in six or seven distant rows down the sides, largest in front, four to seven in each row. [1]
This species was described from deep water, off Cullercoats, England. [1] It has been reported from the Atlantic coasts of Europe from Norway south to Galicia, Spain. [3] [4]
