Dendrodoa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Species within the genus Dendrodoa include: [1]
Species names currently considered to be synonyms:
Bulla is a genus of medium to large hermaphrodite sea snails, shelled marine opisthobranch gastropod molluscs. These herbivorous snails are in the suborder Cephalaspidea, headshield slugs, and the order Opisthobranchia.
Ascidia is a genus of tunicates in the family Ascidiidae.
Ciona is a genus of sea squirts in the family Cionidae.
Lottia is a genus of sea snails, specifically true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Lottiinae of the family Lottiidae, one of the families of true limpets.
Botrylloides is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Styela is a genus of tunicates. Styela clava, an edible species, is known as an invasive species in some areas.
Molgula, or sea grapes, are very common, globular, individual marine tunicates roughly the size of grapes.
Acmaea is a genus of sea snails, specifically true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Acmaeidae, one of the families of true limpets.
Halocynthia is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae. Species such as H. roretzi are eaten in parts of Asia as a delicacy.
Stolidobranchia is an order of tunicates in the class Ascidiacea. The group includes both colonial and solitary animals. They are distinguished from other tunicates by the presence of folded pharyngeal baskets. This provides the etymology of their name: in ancient Greek, στολίς, ίδος means the "fold" of a cloth. Stolidobranchian sea squirts are also characterized by the complete absence of an abdomen. The abdominal organs of other tunicates are instead located to one side of the pharyngeal basket in this group.
Doris is a genus of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs. These animals are marine gastropod molluscs in the family Dorididae.
Tectura is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, true limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Lottiidae. Tectura comes from Latin tegō.
Pseudodaphnella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Polycarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Styelidae is a family of ascidian tunicates.
Molgulidae is a family of tunicates in the class Ascidiacea. Following a revision in 2007, the family Hexacrobylidae was synonymized with Molgulidae.
Paramolgula is a genus of marine tunicates.
Cnemidocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Rhizomolgula is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Molgulidae.
Boltenia is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae.
