I'm following the recent paper: 
Fahey S.J. & T.M. Gosliner. 2004. A Phylogenetic Analysis of the Aegiridae Fischer, 1883 (Mollusca, Nudibranchia, Phanerobranchia) with Descriptions of Eight New Species and a Reassessment of Phanerobranch Relationships. 
Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences 55 (34): 613-689, 82 figs., 4 tables,
and place the genus Notodoris into Aegires.

formerly placed in the Order: NUDIBRANCHIA, in the Subclass: OPISTHOBRANCHIA
