Species in this genus show a characteristic posterior notch in the
notum (which is lacking in some taxa) and a characteristic gill morphology, especially the presence of ventral gills.
Habitat
These nudibranchs occur in littoral and sublittoral temperate waters of the northern and southern hemispheres.
General description
They are mostly small (between 5 and 10 mm) and rather hard to find because they are very well camouflaged. They prey on encrusting
bryozoans.
