Dexiarchia
The Dexiarchia are a suborder of sea slugs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the order Nudibranchia. This classification is based on the study by Schrödl ''et al.,'' published in 2001, who recognized within this clade two clades Pseudoeuctenidiacea and Cladobranchia. Taxonomy Clade Pseudoeuctenidiacea ( = Doridoxida) *Superfamily Doridoxoidea **Family Doridoxidae Clade Cladobranchia ( = Cladohepatica) Contains the subclades Euarminida, Dendronotida and Aeolidida *Not assigned to a superfamily ( Metarminoidea) **Family Charcotiidae **Family Dironidae **Family Embletoniidae **Family Goniaeolididae **Family Heroidae **Family Madrellidae **Family Pinufiidae **Family Proctonotidae Subclade Euarminida *Superfamily Arminoidea **Family Arminidae **Family Doridomorphidae Subclade Dendronotida *Superfamily Tritonioidea **Family Tritoniidae **Family Aranucidae **Family Bornellidae **Family Dendronotidae **Family Dotidae **Family Hancockiidae **Family Loma ...

Janolus Fuscus
''Janolus fuscus'' is a species of sea slug, or more accurately a nudibranch, a marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Proctonotidae. Distribution The species ''Janolus fuscus'' is found from the Kenai Peninsula, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska to central California and also in northern Japan. Habitat This species of nudibranch is found in Intertidal zone, intertidal and Neritic zone, subtidal zones. These areas are shallow and rocky, and Janolus fuscus do not inhabit spaces deeper than 30m. Description The bodies of nudibranchs in this species are semi-translucent and whitish-grey, and reach lengths of about 35mm. The body is covered in short cerata with brown cores, and the exterior fades to orange and then white at the tip. Its rhinophores have around 20 Lamellae (zoology), lamellae and are also white tipped. The cerata in front of the rhinophores (as well on the standard back of them) are a distinguishing factor between it and other nudibranch spec ...

Goniaeolididae
''Goniaeolis'' is a monotypic genus of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniaeolididae containing the single species ''Goniaeolis typica''.Gofas, S. (2014).''Goniaeolis typica'' Sars M., 1861.Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species on 2015.2.15 ''Goniaeolis'' is also the only genus within the family Goniaeolididae.
