Knoutsodonta is a genus of dorid nudibranchs in the family Onchidorididae.[2] The radular teeth are an unusual shape[3] 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.[1]

Species within the genus Knoutsodonta include:

  • Knoutsodonta albonigra (Pruvot-Fol, 1951)
  • Knoutsodonta bouvieri (Vayssière, 1919)

  • Knoutsodonta cervinoi (Ortea & Urgorri, 1979)
  • Knoutsodonta depressa (Alder & Hancock, 1842)[2]
