Knoutsodonta is a genus of dorid nudibranchs in the family Onchidorididae.[2] The radular teeth are an unusual shape[3] and a molecular phylogeny study showed that they are not closely related to some other species of Onchidoris within which genus they were formerly placed.[1]
Species
Species within the genus Knoutsodonta include:
- Knoutsodonta brasiliensis (Alvim, Padula & Pimenta, 2011)[2]
- Knoutsodonta depressa (Alder & Hancock, 1842)[2]
- Knoutsodonta jannae (Millen, 1987) - type species[2]
- Knoutsodonta oblonga (Alder & Hancock, 1845)[2]
