Discodorididae
Discodorididae is a taxonomic family of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Doridoidea.Bouchet, P. (2011). Discodorididae. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1761 on 2011-08-23 Species in this family belong to the cryptobranch dorid nudibranchs, i.e. they are able to retract their gills into a gill pocket (cryptobranch = hidden gills). Most are small and hard to identify. Most are thought to feed at night on sponges, while during the day they search for dark areas or remain hidden under rocks. One example of a discodoridid is the "Pacific sea lemon" or "speckled sea lemon", ''Peltodoris nobilis'', which occurs off the coast of British Columbia to Baja California from low-tide waters to a depth of about 200 m. Not only is this species yellow with a bumpy surface, but it also gives off a strong fruity citrus smell when handled, adding to its resembl ...

Doridoidea
Doridoidea, commonly known as dorid nudibranchs (and previously known as the taxon Cryptobranchia), are a taxonomic superfamily of medium to large, shell-less sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Doridacea, included in the clade Nudibranchia. Etymology The word "Doridoidea" comes from the generic name ''Doris'', which was in turn copied from the name of the sea nymph, Doris, in Greek mythology. Families According to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), families within the superfamily Doridoidea include: * Actinocyclidae O'Donoghue, 1929 * Chromodorididae Bergh, 1891 * Discodorididae Bergh, 1891 * Dorididae Rafinesque, 1815 Changes later than 2005 The family Cadlinidae Bergh, 1891 was considered a synonym of the Chromodorididae. Research by R.F. Johnson in 2011 has shown that ''Cadlina'' does not belong to the family Chromodorididae. She has therefore brought back the name ''Cadlinidae'' from synonymy with ''Chromodorididae''. The chromodori ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carminodoris
''Carminodoris'' is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae. The genus ''Carminodoris'' was originally classified by Bergh in 1891 in the subfamily Platydorididae (despite the use of suffix -idea), a subfamily of the family Dorididae. In 1934 Alice Pruvot-Fol elevated this subfamily to its new status as family latydorididae. In 2002 Valdés has given the name Discodorididae precedence over the name Platydorididae. The Sea Slug Forum however classifies this genus in the family Dorididae. Species Species in the genus ''Carminodoris'' include:http://www.seaslugforum.net/search.cfm?searchstring=Carminodoris * ''Carminodoris boucheti'' Ortea, 1979 * ''Carminodoris cockerelli'' Risbec, 1930 * ''Carminodoris punctulifera'' (Bergh, 1907) * ''Carminodoris spinobranchialis'' Ortea & Martínez, 1992 Synonyms: * ''Carminodoris armata'' Baba, 1993 is a synonym of ''Hoplodoris armata''.Fahey S.

Peltodoris Nobilis
''Peltodoris nobilis'', commonly called the sea lemon, false sea lemon, or the noble dorid, is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Discodorididae.Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2015). ''Peltodoris nobilis'' (MacFarland, 1905). In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=594422 on 2016-12-14 This species was previously placed in the genus ''Anisodoris'' and was known for a long time as ''Anisodoris nobilis''. Subsequently it was known as ''Diaulula nobilis''. This animal gives off a pleasant citrus smell when it is handled, and this (along with its yellow coloration) is what is responsible for the common name "sea lemon". Its diet includes Mycale adhaerens, the purple scallop sponge Distribution This species occurs in the Eastern Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Baja California. It eats sponges.
