Tyrannodoris is a genus of sea slugs, polycerid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Polyceridae. Most of these species were formerly considered to belong to the genus Roboastra. They are carnivorous, feeding on other species of nudibranch, especially similar looking species of Tambja.[2]
