Biology:Aeolidioidea

From HandWiki

Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs or sea slugs, in the suborder Aeolidacea.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Gosliner et al. (2007) elevated the subfamily Babakininae, which was within Facelinidae, to the family level, as Babakinidae.[3]

In 2017, Bouchet and colleagues listed the following families inside Aeolidioidea:[4]

A study of facelinid relationships in 2019 removed several facelinid genera to the family Myrrhinidae.[5]

2025 revision

A 2025 revision of the taxonomy of Aeolidacea by Korshunova and colleagues recognised, based on the results of molecular phylogenetic analysises, the following families in the superfamily Aeolidioidea:[2]
