Dendrodorididae is a taxonomic family of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the Superfamily Phyllidioidea.
Genera
A maximum-parsimony analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S mtDNA gene, performed in 2003, has shown that the family Dendrodoridae is paraphyletic. [1] Genera in the family Dendrodorididae presently include:
- Dendrodoris Ehrenberg, 1831
- Doriopsilla Bergh, 1880
