Doridomorpha is a genus of sea slugs, arminoid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Doridomorphidae.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The phylogenetic position of Doridomorpha was clarified in 2020 as a result of an integrative taxonomic study of the family Tritoniidae.[2] An interesting finding was that Doridomorpha, Doridoxa and Heterodoris cluster with the family Arminidae, in a molecular tree within the Dendronotoidea.[2]

Species

[edit]

There is only one species within the genus Doridomorpha:

Doridomorpha gardineri is a small, thin nudibranch which is occasionally found on the coral Heliopora.[3]
