Onchidium Explained

Onchidium is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae.

Species

Some authors recognize only four species in the genus.^{[1] [2]} The World Register of Marine Species lists six species as accepted.^[3]

• Onchidium melakense Dayrat & Goulding, 2019
• Onchidium multiradiatum C. Semper, 1882
• Onchidium nebulosum C. Semper, 1880
• Onchidium reevesii (J. E. Gray, 1850)
• Onchidium stuxbergi (Westerlund, 1883)
