Pleurobranchidae
The family Pleurobranchidae was recently revised to include the Pleurobranchaeidae. As a result, it's now considered to be the only pleurobranchomorph family in Hawaii. About 16 species are found in the state representing seven genera (Berthella, Berthellina, Euselenops, Pleurehdera, Pleurobranchaea, Pleurobranchella, Pleurobranchus and Tomoberthella).

An animal that may be an additional deep water species (400-600 m) was found at Johnston Atoll by the NOOA-Okeanos Explorer expedition, Laulima O Ka Moana, in 2017. Given it's relative proximity, it might also be present in Hawaii.
