Pleurobranchaea spp

Order: NOTASPIDEA
Superfamily: PLEUROBRANCHOIDEA
Family: Pleurobranchidae

The external features are not well known for many species of Pleurobranchaea, many species being known only from the anatomy of preserved specimens. Until we can match specimens, for which we know the living colour and shape, with these descriptions of preserved specimens, this genus will continue to cause identification problems. The photos on this page are unidentifiable at present. See Species List for identified species of the genus.
