The white-ridged nudibranch, Dermatobranchus sp. 1, as designated by Gosliner, 1987, is a species of nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Arminidae. As at November 2009, it remained undescribed by science.
This species has to date only been found off South Africa, from the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula to Port Elizabeth, in 10–15 m of water.[1] It appears to be endemic.
