About Stylocheilus striatus
Sea Slugs of Hawaiʻi explicitly lists Kauaʻi; dated 2008 and 2018 Kauaʻi community observations corroborate the expert distribution.
Fresh WoRMS/MolluscaBase query returned Stylocheilus striatus accepted (AphiaID 224662); expert account documents historical synonyms.
Expert account places it in tide pools and shallow subtidal rocky/Halimeda habitat from <1 to 34 m.
Authoritative island distribution, accepted taxonomy, shallow habitat, and modern corroboration validate current occurrence at yellow confidence. Strict current-status reconciliation: downgraded to historical because no dated authoritative recent Kauaʻi voucher or survey was inspected.
