Perejaslavtseva, 1891 [1]

Pseudovermis is genus of minute sea slugs, specifically aolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pseudovermidae. [2] [3]

These extremely small sea slugs are meiofauna; they live among sand grains. Pseudovermis means fake worm, because these slugs resemble minute worms.
