Clavelinidae is a family of tunicates in the order Aplousobranchia.
Genera
[edit]As of 2024[update], WoRMS recognizes the following genera in the family Clavelinidae:[2]
- Clavelina Savigny, 1816
- Euclavella Kott, 1990
- Nephtheis Gould, 1856
- Pycnoclavella Garstang, 1891
Phylogeny
[edit]Pycnoclavella has occasionally been placed in a separate family, Pycnoclavellidae, although phylogenetic studies have recovered it as a relative of Clavelina. In multiple analyses, the monotypic genus Nephtheis appears to branch from within Clavelina.[5][6]
