Knoutsodonta is a genus of dorid nudibranchs in the family Onchidorididae. The radular teeth are an unusual shape and a molecular phylogeny study showed that they are not closely related to some other species of Onchidoris within which genus they were formerly placed.

Species

Species within the genus Knoutsodonta include:

  • Knoutsodonta brasiliensis (Alvim, Padula & Pimenta, 2011)
  • Knoutsodonta depressa (Alder & Hancock, 1842)
  • Knoutsodonta jannae (Millen, 1987) - type species
  • Knoutsodonta oblonga (Alder & Hancock, 1845)
