Caliphylla mediterranea A. Costa, 1867, described from the warm and temperate Mediterranean Sea, is the type species of a cosmopolitan genus hitherto considered monospecific. Several notable variations are noted in the records around the world, but gaps in the knowledge of the sea slug anatomy have negatively reflected on the Caliphylla taxonomy. Thus, in line with modern integrative taxonomical studies, the morphology and anatomy of the Caliphylla from Northeastern Brazil (11°-13°S) were investigated. As a result, we describe a new species to the Tropical Southwestern Atlantic, being the second species of the genus reported worldwide.
