Species names currently considered to be synonyms:
Ascidia is a genus of tunicates in the family Ascidiidae.
Styela is a genus of tunicates. Styela clava, an edible species, is known as an invasive species in some areas.
Molgula, or sea grapes, are very common, globular, individual marine tunicates roughly the size of grapes.
Eusynstyela is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Phlebobranchia is an order of sea squirts in the class Ascidiacea, first described by Fernando Lahille in 1886.
Halocynthia is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae. Species such as H. roretzi are eaten in parts of Asia as a delicacy.
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.
Aplousobranchia is an order of sea squirts in the class Ascidiacea, first described by Fernando Lahille in 1886. They are colonial animals, and are distinguished from other sea squirts by the presence of relatively simple pharyngeal baskets. This provides the etymology of their name: in ancient greek, ἁ.πλοος-ους (ha.ploos-ous) means "simple". The posterior part of the abdomen contains the heart and gonads, and is typically larger than in other sea squirts.
Aplidium is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae. There are about 188 species in the genus found in shallow waters around the world.
Polycarpa is a genus of ascidian tunicates in the family Styelidae.
Molgulidae is a family of tunicates in the class Ascidiacea. Following a revision in 2007, the family Hexacrobylidae was synonymized with Molgulidae.
Polyclinum is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae.
Synoicum is a genus of colonial sea squirts, tunicates in the family Polyclinidae.
Eugyra are marine tunicates.
Molguloides is a genus of marine tunicates.
