Myrrhinidae

The Myrrhinidae is a family of aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs.

Taxonomy

DNA studies found the Facelinidae to be polyphyletic and this family was brought back into use to partially resolve that situation.

According to Korshunova and colleagues (2025), the following genera are recognised in the family Myrrhinidae:

• Dondice <small>Er. Marcus, 1958</small>
• Godiva <small>Macnae, 1954</small>
• Hermissenda <small>Bergh, 1879</small>
• Nanuca <small>Er. Marcus, 1957</small>
• Nemesignis <small>Furfaro & Mariottini, 2021</small>
• Phyllodesmium <small>Ehrenberg, 1831</small>
