About Tenellia pinnifera

Sea Slugs of Hawaiʻi explicitly lists Kauaʻi in distribution, but supplies no dated Kauaʻi specimen on the main page.

Fresh WoRMS/MolluscaBase query returned Tenellia pinnifera accepted (AphiaID 1898001); expert account notes Cuthona/Catriona historical combinations.

Expert account reports shallow rocky habitats, usually <1-4 m.

Expert island record and accepted taxonomy verify occurrence, but lack of a dated local record limits it to historical.
