Cuthona is a genus of nudibranch in the family Cuthonidae.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2014). Cuthona Alder & Hancock, 1855. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138543 on 2015-02-09

Ecology

Cuthona species feed on hydroids, and have uniseriate radulae with polydentate radular teeth.{{cite journal|last1=Gosliner|first1=Terrence|title=A New Species of Tergipedid Nudibranch from the Coast of California|journal=Journal of Molluscan Studies|date=1981|volume=47|issue=2|pages=200–205|url=http://mollus.oxfordjournals.org/content/47/2/200.extract|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150131191133/http://mollus.oxfordjournals.org/content/47/2/200.extract|url-status=dead|archive-date=2015-01-31}}

Taxonomic history

The type species of Cuthona is Cuthona nana, (Alder & Hancock, 1842). Some authorities consider the genera Catriona and Trinchesia to be synonymous with Cuthona. Most Cuthona species were transferred to other genera as a result of DNA phylogeny studies in 2016 and 2017.Cella, K; Carmona Barnosi, L.; Ekimova, I; Chichvarkhin, A; Schepetov, D; Gosliner, T. M.
