Catriona (gastropod)
Genus of gastropods
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catriona is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trinchesiidae.[1] All species were transferred to Tenellia as a result of a DNA phylogeny study in 2016.[2] It was reinstated in 2017, and once again in 2025, on the basis of DNA and morphological criteria.[3][4]
