Facelinidae Bergh, 1889 This is a family of aeolid nudibranchs belonging to the order Nudibranchia, suborder Cladobranchia, and superfamily Aeolidioidea. This cosmopolitan group is composed of marine species characterized by an elongated body shape, numerous cerata arranged in dorsal rows or clusters, and a diet predominantly focused on cnidarians, especially hydrozoans. Diagnostic characters Members of the Facelinidae family share a series of morphological characteristics, including: An elongated and slender body,\u2026<\/p>\n
