Pseudunela is a genus of minute sea slugs, acochlidians, shell-less marine or temporary brackish or brackish gastropod mollusks in the clade Acochlidiacea.

Contents

Pseudunela is the only genus in the family Pseudunelidae. [1] Pseudunela is the type genus of the family Pseudunelidae. [5]

Taxonomy

Pseudunelidae was placed within the superfamily Strubellioidea in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005). [5]

Pseudunelidae was subsequently placed within the (unranked) Hedylopsacea by Schrödl & Neusser (2010). [1]
