'''''Rostanga''''' is a [[genus]] of [[sea slug]]s in the family [[Discodorididae]].<ref>{{Bouchet 2005}}</ref> Some sources, such as ''The Sea Slug Forum'' still classify ''Rostanga'' in the family [[Dorididae]].

==Phylogeny==
A phylogenetic analysis shows that the species ''Rostanga aureamala'', ''Rostanga elandsia'', ''Rostanga pepha'' and ''Rostanga setidens'' form a sister group with the other species in this genus. The species from [[Japan]] and the [[Marshall Islands]] form the basal [[clade]]. The species from the tropical Indo-Pacific are not [[monophyletic]]. The species from the [[Atlantic Ocean]] and the Eastern Pacific from a clade that is a sister group to ''R. australis''. The Indo-Pacific species ''Rostanga bifurcata'' forms a sister group to ''Rostanga dentacus''.<ref name="GaVaGos">{{cite journal|last=Garovoy|first=J. B.|author2=Valdés, A. |author3=Gosliner, T.
