Description

Glossodoris moerchi is most likely to be a species of Felimare as Mörch describes it as similar to Felimare villafranca but with a network of lines formed of rounded, triangular or hexagonal spots. The name Glossodoris moerchi was introduced by Bergh because Goniodoris picturata was preoccupied.
