Nomenclator Zoologicus
Stiliger is a genus of small and minute sacoglossan or sap-sucking sea slugs. They are marine gastropod mollusks in the family Limapontiidae.[1]
They somewhat resemble nudibranchs, but are not closely related to them. They are a rich green in color, caused by the green algae they eat.
