Flabellinoidea is a superfamily of nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs or sea slugs, in the suborder Aeolidacea.[1]
Families
According to Korshunova and colleagues (2025), the following genera are recognised in the superfamily Flabellinoidea:[1]
- Family Coryphellidae Bergh, 1889
- Family Flabellinidae Bergh, 1889
- Family Paracoryphellidae Miller, 1971
In Ekimova et al. (2026), Coryphellidae and Paracoryphellidae were merged into Flabellinidae.[2]
