Anteaeolidiella is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs in the family Aeolidiidae.[3][4]
Miller[1] created this genus in 2001 based on specimens from New Zealand which he identified as Aeolidiella indica, which was thought to be a cosmopolitan species since Gosliner and Griffiths synonymised several species in 1981.[5] A study published in 2014 based on molecular characters reversed most of these synonymies and described three new species.[4]
