Aiteng is a genus of sea slugs, marine gastropod molluscs.[2] Aiteng is the only genus in the family Aitengidae.[2] The generic name Aiteng is derived from the name of a black puppet Ai Theng, which is one of the shadow play (Nang yai) puppets in southern Thailand.[2]

Taxonomy

Swennen & Buatip (2009)[2] tentatively classified Aitengidae within the Sacoglossa,[2] but they noted that some characteristics of the nervous system are similar to those of the Cephalaspidea and Acochlidioidea (mentioned as Acochlidea).[2]

Aitengidae clusters within the Hedylopsacea as sister group to Pseudunelidae and Acochlidiidae or basal within Hedylopsacea.[1] Philippe Bouchet (2010)[3] classified Aitengidae within the superfamily Hedylopsoidea.[3]

Species

Species in the genus Aiteng include:

Distribution

The distribution of Aiteng ater includes Thailand.[2] The distribution of Aiteng mysticus includes Japan.[1]

Ecology

Aiteng ater lives "amphibiously" in mangrove forests in the intertidal zone, on the mud.[2]
