Coryphella is a genus of sea slugs, specifically aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs. It is the only genus in the family Coryphellidae.
Taxonomy
Coryphella was originally described in an 1850 paper, and included three original species; Coryphella landsburgii, Coryphella rufobranchialis, and Coryphella pellucida. The family Coryphellidae was first established in 1889 by Rudolph Bergh, and was re-established in a 2017 study. Molecular studies have found that many existing genera were actually synonymous with Coryphella, leading to many genera being merged.
