Aeolidioidea

Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the suborder Cladobranchia.

As of 2019, the superfamily Aeolidioidea consisted of the following families:

Aeolidiidae Gray, 1827
Babakinidae Roller, 1973
Facelinidae Bergh, 1889
Flabellinopsidae Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017

Phidianidae
Phyllodesmiidae
Protaeolidiellidae
Spurillidae

Gosliner et al. elevated the subfamily Babakininae, which was within Facelinidae, to the family level, as Babakinidae. A study of facelinid relationships in 2019 removed several facelinid genera to the family Myrrhinidae.
