Melibe Bucephala
''Melibe'' is a genus of sea slugs, nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tethydidae. Most nudibranchs are carnivores, but their prey is usually sessile or slow-moving animals such as sponges or bryozoans. In contrast, ''Melibe'' is an active predator which traps fast-moving free-swimming animals such as small crustaceans, using its extendable oral hood Species Species within the genus ''Melibe'' include 17 valid species: ''Species inquirenda In biological classification, a ''species inquirenda'' is a species of doubtful identity requiring further investigation.

Species Inquirenda
In biological classification, a ''species inquirenda'' is a species of doubtful identity requiring further investigation. The use of the term in English-language biological literature dates back to at least the early nineteenth century. The term taxon inquirendum is broader in meaning and refers to an incompletely defined taxon of which the taxonomic validity is uncertain or disputed by different experts or is impossible to identify the taxon. Further characterization is required.

Melibe Rosea
''Melibe rosea'', the cowled nudibranch, is a species of sea slug, a dendronotid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Tethydidae. This species is only found in South Africa.
