Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [181256]

Taxonomic note: This species was formerly classified in the Flabellinidae family. However, according to Gosliner et al. (2007), phylogenetic analysis indicates that Babakina represented a monophyletic taxon. The phylogeny suggests that Babakinidae should be maintained as a distinct taxon separated from Flabellinidae and Facelinidae by several autoapomorphies.

Synonyms

  • Rioselleolis anadoni Ortea, 1979 (original)
