Cuthonidae is a family of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Fionoidea. [1]
This family was reinstated as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study. [2]
Genera within the family Cuthonidae include:
The Aeolidida is a taxonomic clade of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Cladobranchia. They are distinguished from other nudibranchs by their possession of cerata containing cnidosacs.
Fionoidea is a superfamily of small sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs. They are gastropod mollusks within the infraorder Cladobranchia. The families within Fionoidea were shown to be monophyletic on DNA evidence and a re-interpretation of family characteristics was provided.
Paracoryphella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Paracoryphellidae.
Myja is a genus of small, delicate sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Facelinidae.
Zelentia is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trinchesiidae.
Fjordia is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Coryphellidae.
Microchlamylla is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod Molluscs in the family Coryphellidae.
Samlidae is a taxonomic family of brightly coloured sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks.
Borealea is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Coryphellidae.
Itaxia is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Coryphellidae.
Orienthella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Coryphellidae.
Gulenia is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Coryphellidae.
Borealea sanamyanae is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine heterobranch mollusc in the family Flabellinidae.
Gulenia monicae is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine heterobranch mollusc in the family Flabellinidae.
Gulenia orjani is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine heterobranch mollusc in the family Flabellinidae.
Apata is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Apataidae.
Samla is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Samlidae.
Polaria is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Paracoryphellidae.
Ziminella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Paracoryphellidae.
Samla takashigei is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine heterobranch mollusc in the family Samlidae.
