Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the suborder Cladobranchia.[1]
Taxonomy
As of 2019, the superfamily Aeolidioidea consisted of the following families:[1]
- Aeolidiidae Gray, 1827
- Babakinidae Roller, 1973
- Facelinidae Bergh, 1889
- Flabellinopsidae Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017
- Glaucidae Gray, 1827
- Myrrhinidae Bergh, 1905
- Notaeolidiidae Eliot, 1910
- Piseinotecidae Edmunds, 1970
- Pleurolidiidae Burn, 1966
Synonyms of families within this superfamily include:
- Caloriidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
- Cratenidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
- Favorinidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
- Phidianidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
- Phyllodesmiidae (accepted as Myrrhinidae)
- Protaeolidiellidae (accepted as Pleurolidiidae)
- Spurillidae (accepted as Aeolidiidae)
Gosliner et al. (2007) elevated the subfamily Babakininae, which was within Facelinidae, to the family level, as Babakinidae.[2] A study of facelinid relationships in 2019 removed several facelinid genera to the family Myrrhinidae.[3]
