The Pleurobranchidae are a taxonomic family of sea snails or slugs, marine opistobranch gastropod molluscs in the order Notaspidea.

The species in the family Pleurobranchidae have a prominent mantle and an internal shell that becomes reduced or is lost in adults.[2] Some adult species have been seen feeding on ascidians. While larval pleurobranchids can be planktotrophic (feeding on plankton), lecithotrophic (deriving nutrition from yolk), or direct developing, many species produce secretions from their rich glandular mantle as a chemical defense against predators.[3] Even the production of sulfuric acid has been reported.[4]

Taxonomy

Traditionally, this family belongs to the suborder Notaspidea. However, in the new taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), the family Pleurobranchidae has been placed in the superfamily Pleurobranchoidea, the only family belonging to the subclade Pleurobranchomorpha (sister to the subclade Nudibranchia), part of the clade Nudipleura.
