Pleurolidiidae is a family of nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs or sea slugs, within the superfamily Aeolidioidea.
Genera and species within the family Pleurolidiidae include: [1]
Pleurolidia juliae and Protaeolidiella atra are sister species according to DNA evidence and are poorly supported as members of the polyphyletic Facelinidae. As the family Facelinidae will be revised in the near future these species are currently placed in Pleurolidiidae. [2]
Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the suborder Cladobranchia.
Aeolidiidae, a family of aeolid nudibranchs, are a family of sea slugs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs.
Hypselodoris is a genus of colourful sea slugs or dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae. Modern usage follows a more restricted view of which species belong in this genus so there are numerous genus transfers.
Godiva is a genus of sea slugs, a nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Facelinidae.
Antonietta is a genus of colorful sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the taxonomic family Facelinidae.
The Aeolidida is a taxonomic clade of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Cladobranchia. They are distinguished from other nudibranchs by their possession of cerata containing cnidosacs.
The Facelinidae are a taxonomic family of colorful sea slugs. These are specifically aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs.
Kikutaro Baba was a Japanese malacologist. He was the leading researcher on sea slugs and bubble snails, opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in Japan.
Cratena is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Facelinidae.
Hermissenda is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Facelinidae.
Facelina is a genus of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch in the family Facelinidae.
Favorinus is a genus of small sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Facelinidae.
Herviella is a genus of small sea slugs, aolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Facelinidae.
Solanderia is the sole genus of hydrozoans in the monotypic family Solanderiidae. They are commonly known as tree hydroids or sea fan hydroids.
Catriona is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trinchesiidae. All species were transferred to Tenellia as a result of a DNA phylogeny study in 2016. It was reinstated in 2017 on the basis of DNA and morphological criteria.
Austraeolis is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the taxonomic family Facelinidae.
Pleurolidia juliae is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pleurolidiidae.
Protaeolidiella atra is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pleurolidiidae.
Hermosita is a genus of sea slugs, specifically of aeolid nudibranchs. Only two species are known to belong to this genus, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Facelinidae.
Herviella albida is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Facelinidae.
