Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Problem of classification

In this section of the nudibranchs there seems to be a problem:- the genus Cratena, comes up in a Wiki search as either belonging to the subfamily Crateninae or else to the family Glaucidae. Both the subfamily and the family have validity under the online B&R taxonomy which is available to me. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the complete taxonomy in order to decide which group Cratena actually falls under and ask that someone who does sorts this out if at all possible. Because this Wiki entry is tagged as needing additional citations, I have left my detailed taxonomy of Cratena capensis as at 18 November 2009 as belonging to Crateninae.

I found this ref (Lalli & Gilmer (1989) pg 224.) given below which says Glaucidae consists of two monotypic taxa only - Glaucus atlanticus & Glaucilla marginata. Can somebody reconcile? AshLin (talk) 18:27, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further problems with classification

As it turns out, neither Cratena nor Caloria belong here. Any chance someone with B&R can check the genera remaining for correctness? Seascapeza (talk) 14:57, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

post Facelinidae

This page seems to have a huge overlap with Facelinidae, so I presume that is where everything else was now supposed to have been shuffled?

Shall we just scrap this page, and replace it by merging Glaucus and Glaucilla both to here instead? (How much of what is known about those two is common, and how much is different between them? So, to minimise content duplication..) Cesiumfrog (talk) 04:32, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, here's a source affirming that Glaucidae has been emptied out, and here is the main source which made Glaucilla obsolete. Cesiumfrog (talk) 22:21, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
