Tritoniidae
Tritoniidae is a taxonomic family of nudibranchs in the suborder Cladobranchia, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs.MolluscaBase (2018)Tritoniidae Lamarck, 1809.Accessed on 2021-01-01 This family includes some of the largest known nudibranchs, with the NE Atlantic species '' Tritonia hombergii'' reaching 20 cm in length. It is the only family in the monotypic In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unisp ... superfamily Tritonioidea. Distribution These nudibranchs occur worldwide in warm and temperate seas and in the coldest waters and deep sea, wherever the octocorals which they eat are found. Ecology Members of the family Tritoniidae feed on octocorals, including sea pens, alcyonarian soft corals, and gorgonians, often being cryptic in shape and colouration upon them ...

Tochuina
''Tochuina'' is a genus of sea slugs, tritonid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tritoniidae.MolluscaBase (2018)''Tochuina'' Odhner, 1963.Accessed on 2021-01-06. Taxonomy The species composition of ''Tochuina'' was clarified in 2020 as a result of an integrative taxonomic study of the family Tritoniidae.Korshunova, T.; Martynov, A. (2020)Consolidated data on the phylogeny and evolution of the family Tritoniidae (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) contribute to genera reassessment and clarify the taxonomic status of the neuroscience models ''Tritonia'' and ''Tochuina''.PLOS ONE. 15(11): e0242103. ''Tochuina'' differs from ''Tritonia'' in having a non-bilobed oral veil and the clade is supported by DNA phylogeny. An interesting finding was that the tritoniid genus ''Tochuina'' not only shows an intriguing morphological similarity to '' Doridoxa'' and '' Heterodoris'' but clusters close to these genera, which themselves cluster with the family Arminidae, in a molecular t ...

Tritonia Festiva
The diamondback tritonia (''Tritonia festiva'') is a species of nudibranch, a marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusk in the family Tritoniidae. It is an opportunistic predator of other marine invertebrates. Classification The diamondback tritonia is classified within the Mollusca phylum, the Gastropoda class, the Nudibranchia order, the Tritotoniidae family, and the ''Tritonia'' genus. This species was first described as ''Lateribranchiaea festiva'' (Stearns, 1873). Distribution The diamondback tritonia inhabits the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Sightings have been most prevalent on the west coast of North America and have been reported as far north as Alaska. The species has also been identified along the coast of Japan and both North and South Korea. Habitat The diamondback tritonia is a benthic organism as the sea floor is where this species finds its prey. Their flattened body plan allows for maneuverability into small spaces common in rocky intertidal areas. Body p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
