Flabellinidae is a family of nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs or sea slugs, in the superfamily Flabellinoidea.[2]
Genera
[edit]According to Korshunova et al. (2025), genera within the family Flabellinidae include:[2]
- Calmella Eliot, 1910
- Carronella Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017
- Coryphellina O'Donoghue, 1929
- Edmundsella Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017
- Flabellina Gray, 1833 in Griffith and Pidgeon, 1833–34
- Paraflabellina Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017
In Ekimova et al. (2026), Coryphellidae and Paracoryphellidae were considered synonymous of Flabellinidae and several genera were lumped with each other, proposing the following list of genera:[3]
- Chlamylla Bergh, 1886 [= Paracoryphella Miller, 1971; = Polaria Korshunova et al., 2017]
- Coryphella J. E. Gray, 1850 [= Corrupta Korshunova et al., 2025; = Portorchardia Korshunova et al., 2025]
- Coryphellina O’Donoghue, 1929
- Edmundsella Korshunova et al., 2017
- Flabellina McMurtrie, 1831 [= Calmella Eliot, 1910; = Carronella Korshunova et al., 2017; = Paraflabellina Korshunova et al., 2017]
- Launsina Ekimova et al., 2026
- Mgueolia Korshunova, Fletcher & Martynov, 2025
- Ziminella Korshunova et al., 2017
