Godiva is a genus of sea slugs, a nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Myrrhinidae. [2] [3] [4]
Species within the genus include:
Elysia is a genus of sea slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Plakobranchidae. These animals are colorful sea slugs, and they can superficially resemble nudibranchs, but are not very closely related to them. Instead they are sacoglossans, commonly known as sap-sucking slugs.
Okenia is a genus of colorful sea slugs, specifically of dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Goniodorididae.
Cuthona is a genus of nudibranch in the family Cuthonidae.
The Facelinidae are a taxonomic family of colorful sea slugs. These are specifically aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs.
Kikutaro Baba was a Japanese malacologist. He was the leading researcher on sea slugs and bubble snails, opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in Japan.
Goniodoris is a genus of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Goniodorididae.
Cadlinella is a genus of colourful sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae.
Hermaea is a genus of sacoglossan sea slugs, a shell-less marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Hermaeidae.
Aeolidiella is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Aeolidiidae.
Tenellia is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trinchesiidae.
Facelina is a genus of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch in the family Facelinidae.
Favorinus is a genus of small sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Facelinidae.
Trinchesia is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trinchesiidae. All species were transferred to Tenellia as a result of a DNA phylogeny study in 2016. The genus was dismembered and broken into several smaller genera in 2017 with further DNA evidence and a re-interpretation of genus and family characteristics.
Dondice is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Myrrhinidae.
Sakuraeolis is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Facelinidae.
Diaphorodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Calycidorididae.
Diaphorodoris papillata is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Calycidorididae.
Biuve fulvipunctata, the white-speckled headshield slug, is a species of sea slug or headshield slug, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the family Aglajidae. This species is widespread in the Indian and Pacific Oceans but has invaded the Mediterranean Sea since 1961, despite apparently being absent from the Red Sea until recorded there in the 21st century. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Biuve.
The Myrrhinidae are a taxonomic family of colourful sea slugs. These are specifically aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs.
Nemesignis is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Myrrhinidae with only one species, Nemesignis banyulensis.
