Hermosita is a genus of sea slugs, specifically of aeolid nudibranchs. Only two species are known to belong to this genus, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Facelinidae. [2]
Biology
Both species of Hermosita feed on the hydroid Solanderia; a characteristic shared with the Pleurolidiidae. [3]
Species
Species in this genus include:
- Hermosita hakunamatata (Ortea, Caballer & Espinosa, 2003)
- Hermosita sangria Gosliner & Behrens, 1986
