Philinoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of sea slugs, specifically headshield slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Cephalaspidea.

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.[1]

Taxonomy

2005 Taxonomy

Families within the superfamily Philinoidea include (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):[2]

2017 Taxonomy

According to the 2017 Taxonomy, Retusidae no longer belongs to Cephalaspidean and Cylichnidae is promoted to Cylichnoidea.[4] In additional to the re-established Scaphandridae and Laonidae, as well as the three new families established in 2015 by Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias,[5] the nine families of Philinoidea As of 19 February 2018 are as follows:

  • Family Aglajidae Pilsbry, 1895 (1847)
  • Family Alacuppidae Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias, 2015[5]
  • Family Colpodaspididae Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias, 2015[5]
  • Family Gastropteridae Swainson, 1840
  • Family Laonidae Pruvot-Fol, 1954[5]
  • Family Philinidae Gray, 1850 (1815)
  • Family Philinoglossidae Hertling, 1932
  • Family Philinorbidae Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias, 2015[5]
  • Family Scaphandridae G.O. Sars, 1878[5]
