Three Eastern Atlantic Chromodorididae species are described: Glossodoris edmundsi new species, G. ghanensis Edmunds, 1968 and Chromodoris luteo-punctata (Gantès, 1962). The former is separated from G. ghanensis by characters of the radula and reproductive system and from G. punctilucens (Bergh, 1890) by the radula. C. luteopunctata is redescribed for the first time since the original description, and new anatomical data are reported.
