Biology:Coryphella

From HandWiki

Coryphella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs. It is the only genus in the family Coryphellidae.[1]

Taxonomy

Coryphella was originally described in an 1850 paper, and included three original species; Coryphella landsburgii, Coryphella rufobranchialis, and Coryphella pellucida.[2] The family Coryphellidae was first established in 1889 by Rudolph Bergh,[3][1] and was re-established in a 2017 study.[4] Molecular studies have found that many existing genera were actually synonymous with Coryphella, leading to many genera being merged.[5]

Species

Species within the genus Coryphella are as follows:[1][6]
