چکیده
The type species of the genus Akiodoris, A. lutescens, Bergh, 1880 is redescribed from specimens found in the Sea of Okhotsk, and from the Commander Islands, Russia. A second species in the genus, Akiodoris salacia Millen sp.nov., is described from the Pacific waters off British Columbia, Canada. The type species of the genus Armodoris, A. antarctica Minichev, 1972 from the Davis Sea, is redescribed from the type and two additional specimens. The relationship of these genera with other genera of phanerobranch dorids is explored and a new family Akiodorididae is formed for the suctorian genera Akiodoris, Armodoris, Echinocorambe, Doridunculus, and Prodoridunculus.
