Leostyletus Misakiensis
''Leostyletus misakiensis'', common name Misaki aeolid, is a species of sea slug or nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Eubranchidae. Distribution This species was described from Misaki, Sagami Bay, on an '' Obelia'' colony, Japan. Additional specimens included in the original description were from ''Sargassum'' plants at Mukaishima, Seto Inland Sea The , sometimes shortened to the Inland Sea, is the body of water separating Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū, three of the four main islands of Japan. It serves as a waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Japan. It connects to Osaka .... The species has been reported from British Columbia, but it is likely that several distinct species are involved.Rudman, W.B., 2001 (March 6''Eubranchus misakiensis'' Baba, 1960. Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. This species is also found in the San Francisco Bay, California, and in harbors in Princeton, California and Santa Cruz, California. References ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Sea Slug
Sea slug is a common name for some marine invertebrates with varying levels of resemblance to terrestrial slugs. Most creatures known as sea slugs are gastropods, i.e. they are sea snails (marine gastropod mollusks) that over evolutionary time have either completely lost their shells, or have seemingly lost their shells due to having a greatly reduced or internal shell. The name "sea slug" is most often applied to nudibranchs, as well as to a paraphyletic set of other marine gastropods without obvious shells. Sea slugs have an enormous variation in body shape, color, and size. Most are partially translucent. The often bright colors of reef-dwelling species implies that these animals are under constant threat of predators, but the color can serve as a warning to other animals of the sea slug's toxic stinging cells ( nematocysts) or offensive taste. Like all gastropods, they have small, razor-sharp teeth, called radulas. Most sea slugs have a pair of rhinophores—sens ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aeolidioidea
Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the suborder Cladobranchia. Taxonomy As of 2019, the superfamily Aeolidioidea consisted of the following families: * Aeolidiidae Gray, 1827 * Babakinidae Roller, 1973 * Facelinidae Bergh, 1889 * Flabellinopsidae Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017 * Glaucidae Gray, 1827 * Myrrhinidae Bergh, 1905 * Notaeolidiidae Eliot, 1910 * Piseinotecidae Edmunds, 1970 * Pleurolidiidae Burn, 1966 Synonyms of families within this superfamily include: * Caloriidae (accepted as Facelinidae) * Cratenidae (accepted as Facelinidae) * Favorinidae (accepted as Facelinidae) * Phidianidae (accepted as Facelinidae) * Phyllodesmiidae (accepted as Myrrhinidae) * Protaeolidiellidae (accepted as Pleurolidiidae) * Spurillidae (accepted as Aeolidiidae) Gosliner et al.

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 ...
