Fionidae is a family of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Fionoidea.

Taxonomic history

This family was expanded to include Tergipedidae, Eubranchidae and Calmidae 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

Genera within the family Fionidae include:

  • Fiona Alder & Hancock [in Forbes & Hanley], 1853
  • Calma Alder & Hancock, 1855
  • Cuthona Alder & Hancock, 1855
  • Cuthonella Bergh, 1884
  • Eubranchus Forbes, 1838
  • Murmania Martynov, 2006
  • Tenellia A. Costa, 1866
  • Tergipes Cuvier, 1805
