Plakobranchus is a genus of sea slugs, sacoglossans, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Plakobranchidae.[2]

The author of the genus spelled the name originally as Plakobranchus, but the spelling Placobranchus was a long time the prevailing usage, based on an incorrect subsequent spelling by Férussac (1824) in a translation of van Hasselt's work.
Species

Species within the genus Plakobranchus include:

Plakobranchus noctisstellatus Mehrotra, Caballer, C.M. Scott, Arnold, Monchanin & Chavanich, 2020
Plakobranchus ocellatus van Hasselt, 1824
Plakobranchus papua Meyers-Muñoz & van der Velde, 2016

Recent work on the photosynthetic abilities of Plakobranchus reveals that P. ocellatus is actually a species complex.[3]
