Coryphella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Coryphellidae.[3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Coryphella was originally described in an 1850 paper, and included three original species; Coryphella landsburgii, Coryphella rufobranchialis, and Coryphella pellucida.[2] The family Coryphellidae was first established in 1889 by Rudolph Bergh,[1] and was re-established in a 2017 study.[4] Molecular studies have found that many existing genera were actually synonymous with Coryphella, leading to many genera being merged.[5] However, these studies had failed to take morphological analysis into account, the "lumping" of several genera under Coryphella leading to loss of differentiation. Thus in a 2025 study[6], after full molecular and morphological analysis, the genus Coryphella was restricted, previously synonymized genera reinstated, and two new genera established.

Species

[edit]

According to Korshunova et al. (2025), species within the genus Coryphella are as follows[6]:
