Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [1669251<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note<\/strong>: Genus Duvaucelia<\/em> is reinstated after the paper by Korshunova & Martynov (2020) to differentiate the small Tritoniidae with non-bilobed frontal veil and a moderate number of lateral teeth in radula, mostly inhabiting European temperate and subtropical waters.
\nIn 2023 the genus name Duvaucelia<\/em> changes again to Candiella<\/em> as per De Vasconcelos et al. (2023) based on the fact that the original description of Duvaucelia gracilis<\/em> does not refer to a specimen of Duvaucelia manicata<\/em> (incorrectly synonymized in the past with Duvaucelia gracilis<\/em>, type species of the genus Duvaucelia<\/em>), so they propose the synonymy of Duvaucelia gracilis<\/em> with Marionia blainvillea<\/em> instead. Therefore, Duvaucelia<\/em> is currently not a valid genus and the name Candiella<\/em> is revived based on the type species Candiella plebeia<\/em>.
\nActual species composition for the genus Candiella<\/em> is: Candiella cincta<\/em> (Pruvot-Fol 1937) comb. nov., Ca. coralliumrubri<\/em> (Doneddu et al. 2014) comb. nov., Ca. lineata<\/em> comb. nov., Ca. manicata<\/em> comb. nov., Ca. odhneri<\/em> comb. nov., Ca. pallescens<\/em> Eliot 1906 comb. nov., Ca. plebeia<\/em>, Ca. striata<\/em> comb. nov. and Ca. taliartensis<\/em> Ortea and Moro, 2009 comb. nov.<\/p>\n
