terpenoid metabolites in the porostome nudibranch Doriopsilla areolata is described herein. The de novo origin of two different groups of bi- and tri-cyclic sesquiterpenes, exhibiting opposite A/B ring junctions, has been clearly demonstrated by in vivo incorporation of labeled mevalonate. Surprisingly, metabolites of both series have been previously reported to co-occur in a sponge of genus Dysidea
