Glossodoris
''Glossodoris'' is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae.Caballer, M.; Gofas, S. (2012)''Glossodoris'' Ehrenberg, 1831.Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species on 2012-06-17 Taxonomic history The use of the genus name ''Glossodoris'' has been a subject of debate amongst taxonomists for over 150 years. Because it is the oldest name in the Chromodorididae it has been used differently by different taxonomists, sometimes including many species of ''Hypselodoris'' and ''Chromodoris'' and the other smaller genera recognised today. Its modern status is based on the analysis of DNA sequences. Species Species in the genus ''Glossodoris'' include: * '' Glossodoris acosti'' Matsuda & Gosliner, 2018 * '' Glossodoris aeruginosa'' Rudman, 1995 * '' Glossodoris andersonae'' Matsuda & Gosliner, 2018 * '' Glossodoris angasi'' Rudman, 1986 * '' Glossodoris aureola'' Rudman, 1995 * '' Glossodoris bonwanga'' Mats ...

Chromodorididae
Chromodorididae, or chromodorids, are a taxonomic family of colourful, sea slugs; dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea. “Chromodorid nudibranchs are among the most gorgeously coloured of all animals.” The over 360 described species are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters, as members of coral reef communities, specifically associated with their sponge prey. The chromodorids are the most speciose family of opisthobranchs. They range in size from <10mm to over 30 cm, although most species are approximately 15–30 mm in size. Although, they have a worldwide distribution, most species are found in the region. A scientific paper published in 2007, found the most widespread chromodorid genera, (''

Chromodoris
''Chromodoris'' is a genus of very colourful sea slugs or dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs, and the type genus of the family Chromodorididae. Within the genus ''Chromodoris'', there are currently 101 classified species. Species within ''Chromodoris'' are commonly found in tropical and subtropical waters, living as members of reef communities and preying primarily on sponges. A molecular phylogeny of the family Chromodorididae resulted in this genus being restricted to a smaller number of species than formerly, most of which have longitudinal black lines on the mantle. Many former members of ''Chromodoris'' were transferred to Goniobranchus Anatomy ''Chromodoris'' species exhibit one of the two major body types found within Nudibranchia. There are a few major bodily features that separate chromodorids from other sea slugs. Mantle Dorids have a thick mantle that exists over their foot, and in some species, the mantle can have tubercles (nodules along the surface of an o ...

Glossodoris Cincta
''Glossodoris cincta'' is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae. This name has been extensively used for a group of similarly coloured species, some of which are un-named. Distribution This species was described from Ile Marianne, Fouquets Reef, Mauritius. This species has been reported in error widely in the Indo-Pacific region but these reports should be referred to '' Glossodoris acosti'' or undescribed ''Glossodoris'' species. The only reliable recent records are from Réunion.Bidgrain, P., 2019''Glossodoris cf. cincta''South-west Indian Ocean Sea Slugs, accessed 2019-01-26. Description ''Glossodoris cincta'' has a mantle which is tawny brown with blue-white dots and a dark blue margin to the mantle which is separated from the brown by a thin grey line. The rhinophores are dark brown with blue-white dots. The living holotype A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organi ...
