Tergipedidae in the World Register of Marine Species

Tergipedidae is a family of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Fionoidea (according to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[2]
Taxonomic history

The bratos in this family were moved to the family Fionidae as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study.[3] This was reversed and the family Tergipedidae restricted to the one nominate genus in 2017 as a result of a re-evaluation of this study and further DNA results.[4]
Genera

Genera within the family Tergipedidae include:[5]

Tergipes Cuvier, 1805
