Family EUBRANCHIDAE Odhner, 1934

Introduction

Generally small aeolids with three teeth in each row of the radula. Similar in shape and size to tergipedid aeolids, but in that family the cerata are usually smoothly fusiform and lay back upon the body, whereas in eubranchids, at least among Bass Strait species, the cerata stand more or less upright and are ornamented with two or three circlets of points or knobs. Eubranchids feed on hydroids.
