Paracoryphellidae is a taxonomic family of brightly coloured sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks.[1]
Ekimova et al. (2026)[2] considers Paracoryphellidae to be a synonym of Flabellinidae.
Genera
[edit]According to Korshunova et al. (2025), genera within the family Paracoryphellidae include[3]:
- Chlamylla Bergh, 1886
- Mgueolia Korshunova et al., 2025
- Paracoryphella M. C. Miller, 1971
- Polaria Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017
