Here is some information and photos on Glossodoris rufomarginata from Brian Darvell's Hong Kong collections.

The central part of the mantle is closely speckled with reddish-brown and there is a thin band of the same colour around the sinuous mantle edge. The rest of the mantle is white or translucent white. The rhinophore club is reddish brown and the white gills are edged with the same colour. It can grow to 40 mm in length.
