Fionidae
Fionidae is a family of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Fionoidea. Taxonomic history This family was expanded to include Tergipedidae, Eubranchidae and Calmidae as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study. This was reversed in 2017 with further DNA evidence and a re-interpretation of genus and family characteristics.Korshunova, T.; Martynov, A.; Picton, B.

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species on 2016-12-23. Taxonomic history This was a small genus until a DNA phylogeny of the former family Tergipedidae resulted in most species of '' Cuthona'' being transferred to this genus.Cella, K; Carmona Barnosi, L.; Ekimova, I; Chichvarkhin, A; Schepetov, D; Gosliner, T.

Miller (2004) restricted the genus ''Cuthona'' Alder & Hancock, 1855 to the type species, ''C. nana'' (Alder & Hancock, 1842), and transferred to the genus ''Trinchesia'' the rest of the species previously included in ''Cuthona''.

Nudibranch
Nudibranchs () are a group of soft-bodied marine gastropod molluscs which shed their shells after their larval stage. They are noted for their often extraordinary colours and striking forms, and they have been given colourful nicknames to match, such as "clown", "marigold", "splendid", "dancer", "dragon", or "sea rabbit". Currently, about 3,000 valid species of nudibranchs are known.Ocean Portal (2017)A Collage of Nudibranch Colors Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Retrieved 17 April 2018. The word "nudibranch" comes from the Latin "naked" and the Ancient Greek () " gills". Nudibranchs are often casually called sea slugs, as they are a family of opistobranchs (sea slugs), within the phylum Mollusca (molluscs), but many sea slugs belong to several taxonomic groups which are not closely related to nudibranchs. A number of these other sea slugs, such as the photosynthetic '' Sacoglossa'' and the colourful Aglajidae, are often confused with nudibranchs. Dist ...

''Cuthona'' is a genus of nudibranch in the family Tergipedidae.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2014). ''Cuthona'' Alder & Hancock, 1855. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138543 on 2015-02-09 Ecology ''Cuthona'' species feed on hydroids, and have uniseriate radulae with polydentate radular teeth. Taxonomic history The type species of ''Cuthona'' is '' Cuthona nana'', (Alder & Hancock, 1842). Some authorities consider the genera ''Catriona'' and ''Trinchesia'' to be synonymous with ''Cuthona''. Most ''Cuthona'' species were transferred to other genera as a result of DNA phylogeny studies in 2016 and 2017. Species Species in the genus ''Cuthona'' include: * '' Cuthona divae'' (Er.
