- 2015, Robert Burn, Nudibranchs and Related Molluscs, page 204:
- Commonly called aeolids, these nudibranchs have cerata (usually in groups) along each side of the body, each ceras containing a duct of the digestive gland and usually having a cavity (cnidosac) to store ingested nematocysts in the tip, which distinguishes aeolids from all other nudibranchs.
