Identification:  This species is similar to Lamellaria sp. #1. However, it has spots on its dorsum surrounded by lighter rings. The spots have variable amounts of darker pigment in their centers and their size may vary. A white cross-bar may or may not be present. (Note 1) Natural history:  Lamellaria sp. #3 is known from about a dozen animals found in moderately exposed rocky habitats at a depth of 3-9 m (10-30 ft) and in Halimeda kanaloana beds. Distribution:  Big Island, Maui and Oahu. Taxonomic notes:  There is some uncertainty in separating this species from other listed species of Lamellaria. It was first recorded in Hawaii from Maliko Bay, Maui by CP on April 19, 2008. It may be a Djiboutia sp. as ilustrated in Fassio, et. al. (2023). Photo:  CP: Maliko Bay, Maui; April 19, 2008. Observations and comments: Note 1:  There's some uncertainty in lumping the animals with smaller spots and a white cross-bar with the others.
