Bosellia is a genus of sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks within the superfamily Plakobranchoidea.[3]
Bosellia is the only genus in the family Boselliidae.[4][5] Such families are monotypic families and this family has no subfamilies.
Distribution include warm waters in Mediterranean and in Atlantic ocean.[6] Reports from Indo-Pacific were not confirmed.[6]
Species within the genus Bosellia include 3 species and one with uncertain taxonomic status:[6]
Phylogenetic results by Händeler et al. (2009)[5] indicate that the Caribbean "Bosellia marcusi" described by Eveline Agnes du Bois-Reymond Marcus (1972)[7] is a derived species of Elysia. Morphological examination indicates that the parapodia of "B. marcusi" have secondarily fused over the dorsum, producing a superficial similarity with Bosellia. Bosellia marcusi Marcus, 1972 is a synonym for Elysia marcusi (Marcus, 1972).[5]
