Most have elongate bodies. Recently, some sources have recombined them with the Thecosomata under the Pteropoda (known as "sea butterflies"). Little is known about the Hawaiian fauna. In addition to Cliopsis krohni and Thliptodon diaphanus, three other species have been recorded from the north Pacific near Hawaii based on the range maps in Pelagic Molluscs: Hydromyles globulosa (Rang, 1825) in the family Hydromylidae Notobranchaea inopinata Pelseneer, 1887 in the family Notobranchaeidae Pneumodermopsis ciliata (Gegenbaur, 1855) in the family Pneumodermatidae no photo available Clionidae Cliopsidae
