Species: [1]
Ascidia is a genus of tunicates in the family Ascidiidae.
Sorberacea were a monoorder and monofamilial class of benthic Tunicates. The single order of the class was Aspiraculata, and the single family of that order was Hexacrobylidae. In a taxonomic revision of the Tunicata in 2007, the name "Hexacrobylidae" was declared invalid and members of the family were included in the family Molgulidae in the class Ascidiacea.
Microcosmus is a genus of tunicates in the family Pyuridae, containing the following species:
Didemnum is a genus of colonial tunicates in the family Didemnidae. It is the most speciose genus in the didemnid family. Species in this genus often have small calcareous spicules embedded in the tunic and form irregular or lobed colonies. Some Didemnum species, including Didemnum vexillum and Didemnum perlucidem are considered invasive species. In early 2006, Didemnum vexillum was found covering a 230 km2 area of cobble habitat in Georges Bank off the coast of New England, and is classified as an invasive species of greatest concern in coastal areas throughout Europe, New Zealand, and North America. Didemnum sp. invasions have also been recorded in Canada, the Mediterranean, and the Netherlands.
Botryllus is a genus of colonial 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.
Clavelina is genus of sea squirts, containing the following species:
Phlebobranchia is an order of sea squirts in the class Ascidiacea, first described by Fernando Lahille in 1886.
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.
Rhopalaea is a genus of tunicates belonging to the family Diazonidae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution in warm and temperate oceans.
Diazona is a genus of tunicates in the family Diazonidae.
Asajirus is a genus of marine tunicates. Asajirus indicus was found on the Antarctic Peninsula, west of Palmer Archipelago at a depth of 2763-2818m.
Oligotrema is a genus of marine tunicates.
Cnemidocarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Symplegma is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Gamaster is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Molgulidae.
Hartmeyeria is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae.
Octacnemidae is a family of tunicates belonging to the order Phlebobranchia.
Polycitor is a genus of tunicates belonging to the family Polycitoridae.
Diplosoma is a genus of tunicates belonging to the family Didemnidae.
