Paracoryphella islandica


Paracoryphella islandica is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Paracoryphellidae.

History of the taxonomy

Paracoryphella islandica was originally described as Coryphella islandica by Nils Hjalmar Odhner in 1937. M. C. Miller assigned this species to a new genus Paracoryphella within a new family Paracoryphellidae. Gosliner & Kuzirian synonymized Paracoryphella with Flabellina, but Korshunova et al., 2017 reinstated Miller's genus and family.
