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, ('' [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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
''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 ...

Doridoidea
Doridoidea, commonly known as dorid nudibranchs (and previously known as the taxon Cryptobranchia), are a taxonomic superfamily of medium to large, shell-less sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Doridacea, included in the clade Nudibranchia. Etymology The word "Doridoidea" comes from the generic name ''Doris'', which was in turn copied from the name of the sea nymph, Doris, in Greek mythology. Families According to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), families within the superfamily Doridoidea include: * Actinocyclidae O'Donoghue, 1929 * Chromodorididae Bergh, 1891 * Discodorididae Bergh, 1891 * Dorididae Rafinesque, 1815 Changes later than 2005 The family Cadlinidae Bergh, 1891 was considered a synonym of the Chromodorididae. Research by R.F. Johnson in 2011 has shown that ''Cadlina'' does not belong to the family Chromodorididae. She has therefore brought back the name ''Cadlinidae'' from synonymy with ''Chromodorididae''. The chromodori ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glossodoris Atromarginata
''Doriprismatica atromarginata'' is a species of sea slug. It is a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chromodorididae.MolluscaBase (2018)''Doriprismatica atromarginata'' (Cuvier, 1804).Accessed on 2018-12-25. Distribution This species is found throughout the tropical and sub-tropical Indo-Pacific area. Description ''Doriprismatica atromarginata'' ranges in color from creamy-white through yellow to pale brown. It typically has a black-lined edge running down the outside of a very folded mantle and black rhinophore clubs. The frilly mantle sometimes appears to move like a wave as the animal crawls along. It can reach a total length of at least 60 mm. This species is very similar in appearance to '' Doriprismatica sibogae'' and '' Doriprismatica plumbea'', although ''Doriprismatica atromarginata'' is by far the more common and is not quite as deep yellow in colour as the other species.
