Pteraeolidia is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Facelinidae.[3]

Species

Species within the genus Pteraeolidia include:

  • Pteraeolidia annulata Eliot, 1910 - synonym: Indocratena annulata (Eliot, 1910)
  • Pteraeolidia ianthina (Angas, 1864) - synonyms: Flabellina ianthina Angas, 1864, Flabellina scolopendrella Risbec, 1928
  • Pteraeolidia semperi (Bergh, 1870) - synonym: Flabellina semperi Bergh, 1870

A recent study suggests that there are many species of Pteraeolidia in the Indo-Pacific region.[4]
