has been recorded somewhat more frequently in the Red Sea (http://www.seaslugforum.net/showall/noumsuda, https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/126112-Noumea-sudanica). It is described here from specimens collected in the northern Red Sea. The excellent series of photographs depict five individuals, of which three are grouped together (four specimens were collected). In the photograph of the group, the rhinophores and nine plumose but simply pinnate gills are all pure white. The edges of the rhinophore lamellae (numbering 9-11) and main axes of the gills (facing outwards) are opaque white. In photographs of a single animal, the apical one third of the rhinophore is very faintly orange, with opaque white edges to the 9-11 lamellae. All five animals have a white dorsum with pits and a narrow yellow margin, which is faintly darker orange at the edge (Plate

). In two individuals, the pits are slightly yellow and in a third one, there are small conical papillae dotted on the surface. The foot is also white, and the tip is bordered with a yellow line; one photograph from the side shows that the margins of the foot are white.

The gill pocket is large and slightly raised and in two specimens, the unipinnate gills barely protrude. The foot extends beyond the mantle slightly in all but one specimen. The foot is angular anteriorly, and the large oral tentacles are clearly visible.</paragraph>
