Doridoxidae, commonly known as doridoxid nudibranchs, are a small, enigmatic taxonomic family of shell-less sea slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Cladobranchia within the clade Nudibranchia.[2]

Doridoxidae is currently the only family in the superfamily Doridoxoidea, within the clade Pseudoeuctenidiacea (= Doridoxida). Molecular evidence shows that it groups with the genera Doridomorpha and Heterodoris and the family Arminidae and close to Tritoniidae.[3]

Genera

[edit]

The family Doridoxidae is a small family with only one genus Doridoxa and two species:[4]

Species brought into synonymy:

  • Doridoxa ingolfiana Bergh, 1899 - the type species of Doridoxa; synonym of Doridoxa walteri.[3]
