Halgerda

Halgerda is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae.

The genus Halgerda was classified within the family Halgerdidae by Odhner (1934).

[2] Halgerdidae Odhner, 1926, is treated as a synonym of Discodorididae in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).

In 2018 another six new species were described from Mozambique, highlighting the number of undescribed species on the African coast of the Indian Ocean.

[6] Species of Halgerda are confined to the Indo-West Pacific Tropical region apart from two species which are found in warm temperate waters of South Africa and Southern Australia and one species from warm temperate Japanese waters.
