Arminoidea is a superfamily of small sea slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Nudibranchia. [1]

Arminoidea is the only superfamily in the clade Euarminida.

Families

A study, published in 2000, [2] has demonstrated that Arminoidea is paraphyletic.

The taxonomy of the Arminoidea in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) [3] contains two families as follows:

Euctenidiacea

The Euctenidiacea, common name dorid nudibranchs, are a taxonomic suborder of sea snails or slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the order Nudibranchia.

Doridina is equivalent and used in the latest classification.

The Dexiarchia are a suborder of sea slugs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the order Nudibranchia. This classification is based on the study by Schrödl et al., published in 2001, who recognized within this clade two clades Pseudoeuctenidiacea and Cladobranchia.
