Duvaucelia is a genus of sea slugs, nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the family Tritoniidae.MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Duvaucelia Risso, 1826. Accessed on 2021-01-01. It was synonymised with Tritonia until 2020 when a revision of the family Tritoniidae brought it back into use.Korshunova, T.; Martynov, A. (2020). Consolidated data on the phylogeny and evolution of the family Tritoniidae (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) contribute to genera reassessment and clarify the taxonomic status of the neuroscience models Tritonia and Tochuina. PLOS ONE. 15(11): e0242103. A 2023 analysis later established it as a synonym of Candiella.
