Phyllidioidea

Dendrodoris denisoni, copyright Ria Tan.

Belongs within: Doridina.

The Phyllidioidea are a group of nudibranchs characterised by the absence of radula, together with a number of other features representing adaptations for suctorial feeding on sponges.

Synapomorphies (from Valdés 2002): Mouth area reduced to a pore, mouth opening moved posteriorly, labial cuticle absent, radula absent, salivary glands absent, oral glands present, caecum absent, intestine reduced, pedal commissure short.
