Embletonia gracilis | |
Embletoniidae is a family of sea slugs, nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs, in the clade Nudipleura. There are no subfamilies in the Embletoniidae.[1]
This family was placed in Dendronotida by Miller & Willan (1991), otherwise it is traditionally placed close to Tergipedidae.[2]
The family and the genus Embletonia were named after Dennis Embleton, a British naturalist (1810-1900).
There is one genus:
- Embletonia Alder & Hancock, 1851[2]
- Embletonia gracilis Risbec, 1928
- Embletonia pulchra (Alder & Hancock, 1844)[3]
- Genera brought into synonymy
- Embletoniella Baba, 1967: synonym of Embletonia Alder & Hancock, 1851
- Pterochilus Alder & Hancock, 1844: synonym of Embletonia Alder & Hancock, 1851
