Species
editSome authors recognize only four species in the genus.[2][3] The World Register of Marine Species lists six species as accepted.[4]
- Onchidium melakense Dayrat & Goulding, 2019[2]
- Onchidium multiradiatum C. Semper, 1882
- Onchidium nebulosum C. Semper, 1880
- Onchidium reevesii (J. E. Gray, 1850)[3]
- Onchidium stuxbergi (Westerlund, 1883)[3]
- Onchidium typhae Buchannan, 1800[3]
Onchidium multinotatum, originally described within the genus in 1883, is regarded as a nomen dubium.[5]
