Species in the genus Hyalimax include [2] [ unreliable source? ] (old source from 1892 was used, some of these names may be synonyms):
Tryon (1884) [1] wrote about the genus Hyalimax (while mentioning Hyalimax pellucidus as an example) like this:
"Animal limaciform, swollen at centre, blunt before, and tapering behind; tentacles simple; mantle large, central, concealing all but a small opening; an internal shell-plate; no longitudinal furrows above the margin of the foot, and no caudal mucous pit; no distinct locomotive disk; external respiratory and anal orifices on the central right margin of the mantle; orifice of combined genital system on right side of head, halfway between eye-peduncle and mantle."
"Shell large, rudimentary, thin, oval, unguiform, non-spiral. Jaw smooth with blunt median projection and accessory quadrate plate. Lingual membrane with tricuspid central teeth, multifid laterals, and quadrate marginals."
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.
The aperture is an opening in certain kinds of mollusc shells: it is the main opening of the shell, where the head-foot part of the body of the animal emerges for locomotion, feeding, etc.
Onchidella is a genus of small, air-breathing sea slugs, shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Onchidiidae.
Geomalacus is a genus of large air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs.
Emarginula is a genus of small keyhole limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae.
Chromodoris magnifica, also known as the magnificent sea slug is a sea slug, a species of nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae. It is the type species of the genus Chromodoris.

Julia is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the superfamily Oxynooidea.
Conus bandanus, common name the banded marble cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.

Coriocella nigra is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Velutinidae. An Indo-Pacific species, it lives on rocks at depths of up to 15 m. It is up to 10 cm long and has an internal shell; body color is black or brown. C. nigra is probably a predator of tunicates.
