Tenellia distans is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Fionidae.[2]

Distribution[edit]

This species was described from the Varangerfjord, near Vadsø in Finnmark, Norway. However, this nudibranch has not been seen since it was first described by Odhner in 1922.[3]
