Familia Flabellinidae

Bergh, 1889

Active aeolidaceans having a pleuroproctic (occasionally acleioproctic) anal position; cerata in even or irregular rows, sometimes clustered into groups set upon lobes or peduncles. There may be a distinct notal ridge separating the dorsum from the flanks. Distinct propodial tentacles and long and mobile oral tentacles are conspicuous; the rhinophores may be smooth, papillate or lamellate. The penis is unarmed; there is a coiled tubular ampulla acting as a seminal vesicle; a bursa copulatrix is present, usually located distally, opening into the female atrium, but in some species it is double and situated close to the fertilization chamber.
The cutting edges of the jaws are denticulate. The radula is triseriate; the lateral teeth are usually denticulate, rarely smooth.
