Most are cryptic and nocturnal. It was recently revised to include the families Archidorididae, Asteronotidae, Kentrodorididae, Platydorididae, and Rostangidae. It is the largest nudibranch family in Hawaii with over 50 known species in 16 genera (Asteronotus, Atagema, Carminodoris, Diaulula, Discodoris, Geitodoris, Halgerda, Hiatodoris, Jorunna, Montereina, Paradoris, Platydoris, Rostanga, Sclerodoris, Tayuva and Thordisa). It's possible that the species listed as "Platydoris sp." in Kay & Young (1969) might be Platydoris sanguinea Bergh, 1905 but it needs confirmation. Unidentified dorid #17 may also be in this family.
