Doto onusta is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Dotidae.
It is considered a dubious synonym of Doto floridicola Simroth, 1888 by the World Register of Marine Species[2]
This species was first described from Brittany, France. It has rarely been reported since the original description. Henning Lemche identified it with the common species which feeds on the hydroid Dynamena pumila, predominantly in the intertidal region.[3]
