The taxonomy of two leucosiid species Dolos petraeus (Milne Edwards, 1874) (new genus) and Oreotlos etor, new species, is discussed. Both mimic dead algae belonging to the genus Halimeda Lamouroux, 1812 (order Caulerpales). Their behavioural and morphological adaptations to this mimicry are discussed. (Résumé d'auteur)
