Runcinoidea is a taxonomic superfamily (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) or a clade Runcinaecea (according to the Malaquias et al. (2009)[2]) of sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Euopisthobranchia.[1]

Taxonomy

2005 taxonomy

Runcinoidea was recognized as a superfamily in the clade Cephalaspidea, within the informal group Opisthobranchia in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[3]

They also recognized two families, Runcinidae and Ilbiidae.[3]

2009 taxonomy

Malaquias et al. (2009)[2] reinstated Runcinacea as a valid taxon outside the Cephalaspidea.

They also recognized two families Runcinidae (with genus Runcina) and Ilbiidae,[2] but they did not mention superfamilies.

2010 taxonomy

Jörger et al. 2010[1] moved Runcinacea to the Euopisthobranchia.
