Occidenthella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, in the family Flabellinidae. [4] The only described species is Occidenthella athadona, a combination named in 2017. [lower-alpha 1] It was originally described as Coryphella athadona in 1875. [3] The genus name Occidenthella, from occidens, meaning "west" in Latin, refers to its distribution in the Western Pacific Ocean. [1] [2] [5]

In the 2017 publication, it was placed in the reinstated family Coryphellidae. [6]
