Philinoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of sea slugs, specifically headshield slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Cephalaspidea. [1]

Anatomy[]

They are generally small animals, and have no shell or gills. Unlike some related forms, the visceral mass is not sharply set off from the rest of the body.[2]

Taxonomy[]

2005 Taxonomy[]

Families within the superfamily Philinoidea include (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):[3]

  • Family Aglajidae Pilsbry, 1895 (1847)
  • Family Cylichnidae - synonym: Tornatinidae
  • Family Gastropteridae Swainson, 1840
  • Family Philinidae "Clade 4"
  • Family Philinoglossidae Hertling, 1932
  • Family Plusculidae Franc, 1968 - contains only one species. It has been considered as synonyms of Philinoglossidae Hertling, 1932 since 2010.[4]
  • Family Retusidae

2017 Taxonomy[]

According to the 2017 Taxonomy, Retusidae no longer belongs to Cephalaspidean and Cylichnidae is promoted to Cylichnoidea.[5]​ In additional to the re-established Scaphandridae and Laonidae, as well as the three new families established in 2015 by Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias,[6]​ the nine families of Philinoidea As of 19 February 2018 are as follows:
