Eubranchidae is a taxonomic family of sea slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Aeolidioidea, the aeolid nudibranchs.

Taxonomic history

The genera in this family were moved to the family Fionidae as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study. This was reversed in 2017 with further DNA evidence and a re-interpretation of genus and family characteristics.

Genera and species

Genera and species within the family Eubranchidae include:

Subfamilies and genera brought into synonymy:

  • Dunga Eliot, 1902: synonym of Eubranchus Forbes, 1838
  • Egalvina Odhner, 1929: synonym of Eubranchus Forbes, 1838
  • Galvina Alder & Hancock, 1855: synonym of Eubranchus Forbes, 1838
  • Nudibranchus Martynov, 1998: synonym of Eubranchus Forbes, 1838
  • Produnga Martynov, 1998: synonym of Eubranchus Forbes, 1838
