Hermaeidae is a taxonomic family of sacoglossan sea slugs. These are marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Plakobranchoidea.[1]
This family has no subfamilies.
Genera
Jensen (1996)[2] listed three genera Aplysiopsis, Hermaea and Hermaeopsis A. Costa, 1869, which has been synonymized with * Hermaea.
Jensen (2007)[3] listed two valid genera in the family Hermaeidae:
- Aplysiopsis Deshayes, 1839–53
 - Caliphylla A. Costa, 1867
 - Cyerce Bergh, 1870
 - Hermaea Lovèn, 1844 - type *
 - Mourgona Er. Marcus & Ev. Marcus, 1970
 - Polybranchia Pease, 1860
 - Sohgenia Hamatani, 1991
 
- Genera brought into synonymy
 
- Beccaria Trinchese, 1870: synonym of Caliphylla A. Costa, 1867
 - Branchophyllum Pruvot-Fol, 1947: synonym of Polybranchia Pease, 1860 (invalid: junior objective synonym of Phyllobranchillus, an earlier replacement name by the same author for the same homonym.)
 - Hermaeina Trinchese, 1874: synonym of Aplysiopsis Deshayes, 1853
 - Hermaeopsis A. Costa, 1869: synonym of Hermaea Lovén, 1844

 - Phyllobranchopsis Eliot, 1905: synonym of Aplysiopsis Bergh, 1898: synonym of Aplysia Linnaeus, 1767
 - Phyllobranchus Alder & Hancock, 1864: synonym of Polybranchia Pease, 1860 (Invalid: junior homonym of Phyllobranchus Girard, 1851 [Annelida]; Phyllobranchillus and Branchophyllum are replacement names)
 - Physopneumon A. Costa, 1864: synonym of Hermaea Lovén, 1844
