Calma is a genus of nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs or sea slugs, and the only member of the family Calmidae.[1] It is characterized by the lacks of an anus and radular teeth mostly fused into a band-like radular ribbon, a trait unique within a majority of the order Nudibranchia. These adaptations are largely a result of their diet of teleost eggs.[2][3]

Taxonomic history

[edit]

In 2016, a molecular phylogenetics study by Cella and colleagues placed Calma and other taxa in the family Fionidae.[2] In 2017, Korshunova and colleagues found this "super-lumping" of taxa inside the family Fionidae, as “Fionidae” sensu latissimo, to contain fundamental errors in its list of synapomorphies and to not provide a reliable morphological delineation or definition of the taxa it contained, as certain included taxa presented considerable morphological and molecular pattern differences from others that should grant the usage of narrowly-defined families, among them Calmidae.[4][3]
