Belongs within: Opisthobranchia.
Contains: Aeolidida.
The Dexiarchia are a clade of nudibranchs characterised by a right-laterally located anus and usually a more or less branched digestive gland. The basal genus Doridoxa retains an unbranched digestive gland similar to that found in other nudibranchs.
