# Aeolidioidea

Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the suborder Cladobranchia.

## Taxonomy

As of 2019, the superfamily Aeolidioidea consisted of the following families:

* Aeolidiidae Gray, 1827
* Babakinidae Roller, 1973
* Facelinidae Bergh, 1889
* Flabellinopsidae Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017
* Glaucidae Gray, 1827
* Myrrhinidae Bergh, 1905
* Notaeolidiidae Eliot, 1910
* Piseinotecidae Edmunds, 1970
* Pleurolidiidae Burn, 1966

Synonyms of families within this superfamily include:

* Caloriidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
* Cratenidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
* Favorinidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
* Phidianidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
* Phyllodesmiidae (accepted as Myrrhinidae)
* Protaeolidiellidae (accepted as Pleurolidiidae)
* Spurillidae (accepted as Aeolidiidae)

Gosliner et al. (2007) elevated the subfamily Babakininae, which was within Facelinidae, to the family level, as Babakinidae. A study of facelinid relationships in 2019 removed several facelinid genera to the family Myrrhinidae.
