Tergipedidae is a family of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, and marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Fionoidea (according to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
Taxonomic history
The bratos in this family were moved to the family Fionidae as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study. This was reversed and the family Tergipedidae was restricted to the one nominate genus in 2017 as a result of a re-evaluation of this study and further DNA results.
Genera
Genera within the family Tergipedidae include:
- Tergipes Cuvier, 1805
;Genera and subfamilies currently brought into synonymy:
- Subfamily Tergipedinae: synonym of Tergipedidae Bergh, 1889
