Fionidae is a family of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Fionoidea.Bouchet, P. (2010). [http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=23039 Fionidae.] In: MolluscaBase (2016). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species on 2016-12-17.
Taxonomic history
This family was expanded to include Tergipedidae, Eubranchidae and Calmidae as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study.Cella, K; Carmona Barnosi, L.; Ekimova, I; Chichvarkhin, A; Schepetov, D; Gosliner, T. M. (2016). [https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0167800 A radical solution: The phylogeny of the nudibranch family Fionidae.] PLoS ONE. 11(12): e0167800. This was reversed in 2017 with further DNA evidence and a re-interpretation of genus and family characteristics.Korshunova, T.; Martynov, A.; Picton, B. (2017). [https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4324.1.1 Ontogeny as an important part of integrative taxonomy in tergipedid aeolidaceans (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) with a description of a new genus and species from the Barents Sea.] Zootaxa. 4324(1): 1.
