AB This paper updates the systematics of Aeolidiidae (Heterobranchia, Nudibranchia), with specialemphasis on the genus Aeolidiella Bergh, 1867. Up to now, Aeolidiella was composed of five validspecies: A. alderi, A. glauca, A. rubra, A. sanguinea from the Mediterranean Sea and the EasternAtlantic and A. drusilla comb. nov. from the Pacific Ocean. To clarify the systematics of thisgenus we present an integrative approach based on molecular and morphological data, literaturereview, species delimitation approaches, and haplotype network analysis. Aeolidiella glauca wasrecognized as a species complex resulting in the description of Aeolidiella avatar sp. nov.,whereas the nominal name A. rubra is considered nomem dubium. The species Aeolidielladrusilla comb. nov. is ascribed to the new genus Novaeolidiella gen. nov. together with thenew species Novaeolidiella janae sp. nov. from the Philippines. This restricts the genusAeolidiella to the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
