Felimida Explained

Felimida is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae.^[1]

Taxonomic history

Many of the species currently included in the genus Felimida were previously contained in the large genus Chromodoris until a revision of the family Chromodorididae in 2012 demonstrated that the name Chromodoris should be used for a smaller group of species.^{[2] [3]}
