Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of small sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are gastropod mollusks.
[edit] 2005 taxonomy
The superfamily Aeolidioidea consists of the following four families (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
- Aeolidiidae Gray, 1827
- Facelinidae Bergh, 1889
- Glaucidae Gray, 1827
- Piseinotecidae Edmunds, 1970
Synonyms of families within this superfamily include:
- Caloriidae (synonym of the subfamily Facelininae)
- Cratenidae (synonym of the subfamily Crateninae)
- Herviellidae (synonym of the subfamily Herviellinae)
- Myrrhinidae (synonym of the subfamily Favorininae)
- Phidianidae (synonym of the subfamily Facelininae)
- Pleurolidiidae (synonym of Aeolidiidae)
- Pteraeolidiidae (synonym of the subfamily Pteraeolidiinae)
- Spurillidae (synonym of Aeolidiidae)
[edit] 2007 taxonomy
Gosliner et al. (2007)[1] have elevated subfamily Babakininae (that was within Facelinidae) to the family level Babakinidae.
