Goniodoris is a defunct genus of sea slugs, specifically dorid nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Goniodorididae.
It is currently an unaccepted genus, housing only a few nomen dubium individuals.
Status
A global revision of Goniodorid taxonomy in 2024 found that Goniodoris nodosa, the types species of the genus, grouped phylogenetically with Okenia and should be classified as such. The remainder of Goniodoris species however had morphology consistent with Pelagella (a genus who was resurrected the year prior, splitting off from Goniodoris) so it was decided that all Goniodoris species except G. nodosa should be transferred to Pelagella, while Goniodoris follow its type taxon and be officially regarded as a synonym of Okenia.
