Aegires is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Aegiridae. [2] Species within this genus feed exclusively on calcareous sponges. [3]
Aegires is the type genus of the family Aegiridae. [4]
Species in the genus Aegires include: [2]
Chromodorididae, or chromodorids, are a taxonomic family of colourful, sea slugs; dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea. “Chromodorid nudibranchs are among the most gorgeously coloured of all animals.” The over 360 described species are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters, as members of coral reef communities, specifically associated with their sponge prey. The chromodorids are the most speciose family of opisthobranchs. They range in size from <10mm to over 30 cm, although most species are approximately 15–30 mm in size.
Tritonia is a genus of sea slugs, nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Tritoniidae.
Hypselodoris is a genus of colourful sea slugs or dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae. Modern usage follows a more restricted view of which species belong in this genus so there are numerous genus transfers.
Glossodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae.
Polycera is a genus of sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Polyceridae.
Notodoris minor is a species of sea slug. It is a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Aegiridae.
Discodorididae is a taxonomic family of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea.
The Facelinidae are a taxonomic family of colorful sea slugs. These are specifically aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs.
Verconia is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae.
Baptodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae.
Carminodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae.
Aegiridae is a taxonomic family of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Polyceroidea.
Notodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Aegiridae. It has been treated as a synonym of Aegires but re-established on the basis of radula and jaw characters.
Felimare is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Miamirinae of the family Chromodorididae.
Notodoris gardineri is a sea slug, which is a species of nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Aegiridae.
Aegires ortizi is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine, opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Aegiridae.
Aegires acauda is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine, opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the family Aegiridae.
Aegires lagrifaensis is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine, opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the family Aegiridae.
Aegires gomezi is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine, opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Aegiridae. It can be differentiated from can be other Atlantic species of this genus by its colour pattern, its labial armature with different series of rods, its isolated mushroom-shaped tubercles, the ridges on its mantle, and its rapid body movements.
Aegires sublaevis is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine, opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Aegiridae.
