Fionidae is a family of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Fionoidea.[1]
This family was expanded to include Tergipedidae, Eubranchidae and Calmidae as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study.[2] This was reversed in 2017 with further DNA evidence and a re-interpretation of genus and family characteristics.[3]
