Halgerda paulayi Donohoo & Gosliner, 2023

The Indo-Pacific genus Halgerda Bergh, 1880 is one of the most diverse and best-studied genera within the nudibranch family Discodorididae. Previous studies were mainly based on morphology. Recent investigations of molecular data within Halgerda (two mitochondrial and two nuclear genes in coordination with the morphology) succeeded in describing 14 new Halgerda species in 2023.

In 2023, the 14 newly described Halgerda species prove the high diversity of the genus Halgerda Bergh, 1880 (Nudibranchia: Discodorididae).

The 14 newly described species are:
Halgerda anosy Donohoo & Gosliner, 2023
Halgerda berberiani Donohoo & Gosliner, 2023
Halgerda biqiea Donohoo & Gosliner, 2023
