Doridoxidae is currently the only family in the superfamily Doridoxoidea, within the clade Pseudoeuctenidiacea (= Doridoxida). Molecular evidence shows that it groups with the genera Doridomorpha and Heterodoris and the family Arminidae and close to Tritoniidae.[3]
Genera
editThe family Doridoxidae is a small family with only one genus Doridoxa and two species:[4]
- Doridoxa benthalis Barnard, 1963[5]
- Doridoxa walteri (Krause, 1892)
Species brought into synonymy:
- Doridoxa ingolfiana Bergh, 1899 - the type species of Doridoxa; synonym of Doridoxa walteri.[3]
