Species

These are the different species in the genus Pseudunela:Pseudunela cornuta - type species of the genus Pseudunela, marine and temporary brackishPseudunela eirene Wawra, 1988 - The description of Pseudunela eirene is brief and based on a single specimen with ganglia of the nervous system and stylets of copulatory organs studied on a whole-mount by light microscopy only. No histological sections were made, and the radula was studied light-microscopically after dissolving the soft parts and stylets. Information on other organ systems is absent, and no further specimens are available for study.
