Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the suborder Cladobranchia.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

As of 2019, the superfamily Aeolidioidea consisted of the following families:[1]

Synonyms of families within this superfamily include:

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]
