Jorunna Bergh, 1876 [1] |
Jorunna is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Discodorididae. [2]
The name Jorunna comes from the latinization of the name of the character Jorunn from the Laxdæla saga. [3]
Jorunna species are usually camouflaged to match the sponges they feed on, which in many cases belong to the family Chalinidae. It is likely that many undescribed species exist. [4]
There are more than 20 species in genus Jorunna. [5] [2]
