Costasiella nonatoi is a species of sacoglossan sea slug in the genus Costasiella. It is one of few species in the genus that is not photosynthetic.[1] The description of this species was based on two specimens which were serially sectioned and designated as the holotype.[2][3] The species was named after Dr. Edmundo Nonato, a professor at the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo.[2]
