Discodorididae
Discodorididae is a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic family (biology), family of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, marine (ocean), 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 fruit ...

Doridoidea
Doridoidea, commonly known as dorid nudibranchs (and previously known as the taxon Cryptobranchia), are a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic Taxonomic rank, superfamily of medium to large, shell-less sea slugs, Marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusc, 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 (mythology), 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 Rudolph Bergh, 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 ...

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 the suffix -idea), a subfamily of the family Dorididae. In 1934 Alice Pruvot-Fol Alice Pruvot-Fol (4 August 1873 – 28 March 1972) was a French Opisthobranchia, opisthobranch malacologist. She was the author of many new species, mostly described on the basis of preserved animals. She described a new species (''Nembrotha ... elevated this subfamily to its new status as the family Latydorididae. In 2002 Valdés gave the name Discodorididae precedence over the name Platydorididae. The Sea Slug Forum however classifies this genus in the family Dorididae.

Rostanga Elandsia
''Rostanga elandsia'', is a species of dorid nudibranch. It is a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae. Distribution This species has so far only been found around the southern African coast from the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula to the eastern side of False Bay. It has been found from the mid-intertidal zone to at least 30 m. It is endemic to South Africa. Description The red sponge nudibranch is a yellow-orange to red dorid with scattered small black spots on its notum. It is extremely well camouflaged on its prey sponges. Its gills are arranged around the anus and its rhinophores are perfoliate The following terms are used to describe leaf plant morphology, morphology in the description and taxonomy (biology), taxonomy of plants.

''Hiatodoris'' is a monotypic genus of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the family Discodorididae. The only species is ''Hiatodoris fellowsi'' commonly known as the Snowball Sea Slug or Fellow's Nudibranch. It was previously known as ''Peltodoris fellowsi''. Description & Anatomy ''Hiatodoris fellowsi'' has an oval-like firm and white body, black rhinophores and gills, and white egg masses. It is a small species with a maximum size of about 51 mm. As most nudibranchs, this species is a hermaphrodite. The ejaculatory and vaginal ducts have their own orifices. It has a straight ejaculatory duct with a tight and convoluted vas deferens.

The spermatocyst and spermatheca are arranged semiserically, where the spermatheca is a little bigger than the spermatocyst and both are ovate. ''Hiatodoris fellowsi'' has a long vaginal duct with a lose and convolute open ...
