Goniaeolis is a monotypic genus of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniaeolididae containing the single species Goniaeolis typica.[4] Goniaeolis is also the only genus within the family Goniaeolididae.

Gonieolis is the original spelling, but incorrect subsequent spelling Goniaeolis is conserved under Art. 33.3.1 of the Code.[4] The synonymy with Goniaeolis lobata was discussed in detail by Odhner in 1922.[5]

Distribution

It is endemic to Scandinavian waters.[6] This species was described from Kristiansund, Norway. It has subsequently been reported from the Skagerrak,[2] the Hardangerfjord,[7] and at the mouth of the Trondheimsfjord.[8] The species is known from 30 to 666 m.[6]

Description

External and internal anatomy was described by Nils Hjalmar Odhner in detail in 1922.[5]
