Family LOMANOTIDAE Bergh, 1890

Introduction

The edge of the mantle is developed into a sinuous ridge on each side from the rhinophores to the posterior tip of the body. Along the edge of the ridge are short pointed cerata which lack gills.

Some species of this family including the single Australian species are found on hydroids and are known to feed on them.
