Cerberilla affinis is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine heterobranch mollusc in the family Aeolidiidae.[2] It was described as a variety by Bergh, 1888 but elevated to species status by Burn, 1966.[3]
This species was described from Indonesia. It has been reported from localities in the Central Indo-Pacific region to Lord Howe Island, the eastern Australian mainland and New Caledonia and is probably widespread in the West Pacific.[4]
