Arminoidea is the only superfamily in the clade Euarminida.
Families
[edit]A study, published in 2000,[2] has demonstrated that Arminoidea is paraphyletic.
The taxonomy of the Arminoidea in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)[3] contains two families as follows:
- Family Arminidae
- Family Doridomorphidae
