Hermaea is a genus of sacoglossan sea slugs, a shell-less marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Hermaeidae. [2]
Hermaea is the type genus of the family Hermaeidae.
Species within the genus Hermaea include 13 valid species: [3]
The Polyceridae are a taxonomic family of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks within the superfamily Polyceroidea.
Limapontiidae is a taxonomic family of small to minute sacoglossan sea slugs. These are marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks.
Stiliger is a genus of small and minute sacoglossan or sap-sucking sea slugs. They are marine gastropod mollusks in the family Limapontiidae.
Placida is a genus of very small or minute sea slugs, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Limapontiidae.
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.
Aeolidiidae, a family of aeolid nudibranchs, are a family of sea slugs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs.
Okenia is a genus of colorful sea slugs, specifically of dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Goniodorididae.
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.
Cuthona is a genus of nudibranch in the family Tergipedidae.
Polycera is a genus of sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Polyceridae.
The Facelinidae are a taxonomic family of colorful sea slugs. These are specifically aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs.
Hermaeidae is a taxonomic family of sacoglossan sea slugs. These are marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Plakobranchoidea.
Eubranchus is a genus of aeolid nudibranch in the family Eubranchidae.
Onchidoris is a genus of dorid nudibranchs in the family Onchidorididae. One of its members is known to prey on barnacles and the others eat bryozoans. The radula contains a rachidian tooth when fully developed, but this is vestigial in some species.
Discodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Discodorididae.
Ercolania is a genus of small sacoglossan sea slugs, shell-less marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Limapontiidae.
Aegires is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Aegiridae. Species within this genus feed exclusively on calcareous sponges.
Facelina is a genus of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch in the family Facelinidae.
