Doridoidea, commonly known as dorid nudibranchs, are a taxonomic superfamily of medium to large, shell-less sea slugs, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the suborder Nudibranchia.
The word "Doridoidea" comes from the generic name Doris, which was in turn copied from the name of the sea nymph Doris in Greek mythology.
