Knoutsodonta tridactila is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. [2]
This species was described from Verdicio, Asturias, on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Spain, 43°35′N005°50′W / 43.583°N 5.833°W . Additional specimens were found nearby at El Puntal, 43°30′N005°14′W / 43.500°N 5.233°W .
Knoutsodonta tridactila is similar in appearance to Knoutsodonta depressa but is distinguished by having a rhinophore sheath with three elongate tubercles, similar to the ones which cover the dorsal surface of the mantle.
This species was found on the bryozoan Schizomavella linearis which is a food also reported for Knoutsodonta depressa.

Onchidorididae are a taxonomic family of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Onchidoridoidea.
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.
Onchidoris proxima is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. This species is found in the northeastern and northwestern parts of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also reported from the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Previously in the genus Adalaria this species was moved to Onchidoris as a result of a molecular phylogeny study.
Eubranchus prietoi is a species of sea slug or nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Eubranchidae.
Knoutsodonta is a genus of dorid nudibranchs in the family Onchidorididae. The radular teeth are an unusual shape and a molecular phylogeny study showed that they are not closely related to some other species of Onchidoris within which genus they were formerly placed.
Knoutsodonta depressa is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae.
Knoutsodonta brasiliensis is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae.

Knoutsodonta jannae is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Onchidorididae. It was frequently mis-identified as Onchidoris muricata. K. jannae is the type species of the genus Knoutsodonta.
