Cadlinidae科 Bergh, 1891在2005年的分類被視為多彩海麒麟科的異名[1];但在R.F. Johnson (2011)的研究[5]顯示Cadlina並不屬於多彩海麒麟科,所以這個屬不應再歸屬於多彩海麒麟科,而是應該獨立成為一個科。而多彩海麒麟科在踢走了Cadlina之後成為了單系群,很可能是Actinocyclidae的姊妹分類單元。2017年《布歇特等人的腹足類分類》亦加入了這個修訂[6]。

隱鰓目被認為是海牛總科的異名:
Cryptobranch dorid nudibranchs (previously known as the taxon Cryptobranchia), are nudibranchsea slugs within the clade Doridacea. These slugs are called "cryptobranch," meaning "hidden gill", because they are able to retract their gills into a gill pocket, in contrast to nudibranchs in the traditional group phanerobranchs (or Phanerobranchia), which taxon is probably paraphyletic (in other words, composed of more than one evolutionary lineage).
