Onchidium is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae.

Species

Some authors recognize only four species in the genus.[2][3] The World Register of Marine Species lists six species as accepted.[4]

Onchidium multinotatum, originally described within the genus in 1883, is regarded as a nomen dubium.[5]
