Goniaeolis typica is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniaeolididae.[4] Goniaeolis typica is the only species in the genus Goniaeolis and it is the only genus within the family Goniaeolididae.

Gonieolis is the original spelling, but incorrect subsequent spelling Goniaeolis is conserved under Art. 33.3.1 of the Code.[4] The synonymy with Goniaeolis lobata was discussed in detail by Odhner in 1922.[5]

Distribution

It is endemic to Scandinavian waters.[6] This species was described from Kristiansund, Norway. It has subsequently been reported from the Skagerrak,[2] the Hardangerfjord,[7] and at the mouth of the Trondheimsfjord.[8] The species is known from 30 to 666 m.[6]

Description

External and internal anatomy was described by Nils Hjalmar Odhner in detail in 1922.[5]
