“…Thus, the previously unchallenged decision to merge all diversity of the traditional family Flabellinidae has considerably masked not only the generic diversity within the traditional Flabellinidae (which is higher than currently recognised), but also Flabellinidae sensu lato actually embraced most other aeolid family-level taxa. This conclusion is foreshadowed by the anomalous position of Flabellina babai revealed by Carmona et al (2013) and the trees presented by Furfaro et al (2017) while our present study was under review.…”

“…There were preliminary data ( González-Duarte et al 2008 ) that another genus with uniserial radula, Piseinotecus , which is still traditionally placed within the separate family Piseinotecidae , is closely related to some Flabellina species. Most recently, Furfaro et al (2017) confirmed this and have shown that in most of the NE Atlantic and Mediterranean species previously assigned to genus Piseinotecus the true triserial radula is present, and delicate lateral denticles were just overlooked in previous studies.…”

Furthermore, Furfaro et al (2017) have shown that “ Piseinotecus ” soussi Tamsouri, Carmona, Moukrim and Cervera, 2014 (original description in Tamsouri et al 2014 ) has appeared basally to “ Flabellina ” baetica and Facelina quatrefagesi (Vayssière, 1888). Further investigations need to be made on these taxa.…”

“…Available reviews are restricted mostly to some warm water species based on a morphological approach ( Gosliner and Kuzirian 1990 ; Millen and Hamann 2006 ). There are some molecular data on flabellinids scattered in more recent publications on other aeolidacean groups (e.g., Carmona et al 2013 ) and a recent achievement in molecular and morphological studies on Mediterranean and NE Atlantic species ( Furfaro et al 2017 ), but there are no recent attempts to understand the broad-scope taxonomic diversity of traditional Flabellinidae and their major phylogenetic patterns.…”

The Flabellinidae, a heterogeneous assembly of supposedly plesiomorphic to very derived sea slug groups, have not yet been addressed by integrative studies. Here novel material of rarely seen Arctic taxa as well as North Atlantic, North and South Pacific, and tropical Indo-West Pacific flabellinid species is investigated morpho-anatomically and with multi-locus markers (partial COI, 16S rDNA, 28S rDNA and H3) which were generated and analysed in a comprehensive aeolid taxon sampling. It was found that the current fam- RESEARCH ARTICLE Launched to accelerate biodiversity research A peer-reviewed open-access journalTatiana Korshunova et al. / ZooKeys 717: 1-139 (2017) 2 ily Flabellinidae is polyphyletic and its phylogeny and taxonomic patterns cannot be understood without considering members from all the Aeolidacean families and, based on a robust phylogenetic hypothesis, morpho-anatomical evolution of aeolids is more complex than suspected in earlier works and requires reclassification of the taxon. Morphological diversity of Flabellinidae is corroborated by molecular divergence rates and supports establishing three new families (Apataidae fam. n., Flabellinopsidae fam. n., Samlidae fam. n.), 16 new genera, 13 new species, and two new subspecies among the former Flabellinidae. Two families, namely Coryphellidae and Paracoryphellidae, are restored and traditional Flabellinidae is considerably restricted. The distinctness of the recently described family Unidentiidae is confirmed by both morphological and molecular data. Several species complexes among all ex-"Flabellinidae" lineages are recognised using both morphological and molecular data. The present study shows that Facelinidae and Aeolidiidae, together with traditional "Tergipedidae", deeply divide traditional "Flabellinidae." Diagnoses for all aeolidacean families are therefore provided and additionally two new non-flabellinid families (Abronicidae fam. n. and Murmaniidae fam. n.) within traditional tergipedids are established to accommodate molecular and morphological disparity. To address relationships and disparity, we propose a new family system for aeolids. Here the aeolidacean species are classified into at least 102 genera and 24 families. Operational rules for integration of morphological and molecular data for taxonomy are suggested.

Heterobranch molluscs fauna in Montenegro has been poorly investigated so far. The aim of the present paper is to improve the knowledge about species diversity of these marine organisms in the Boka Kotorska Bay, specific fjord-like entity in the southern Adriatic Sea. New records of seven heterobranch species were obtained by field surveys in 2017, while three new records were provided by analysing underwater photographs from previous periods. The resulted checklist summarizes the knowledge of the diversity of heterobranchs in the Boka Kotorska Bay from the oldest record in 1967 to the present day and consists of a total of 62 heterobranch species.
