[Hoplodoris] |
formerly placed in the Order: NUDIBRANCHIA, in the Subclass: OPISTHOBRANCHIA
There is still a lot of confusion on the taxonomic placement:
The Sea-Slug Forum places it in the genus Hoplodoris, which the Sea-Slug
Forum places in the family Dorididae.

OF THE PEET PROJECT synonymised Carminodoris with Hoplodoris,
I quote the abstract: "Analyses indicate that the genus Carminodoris
Bergh, 1889 is a junior synonym of Hoplodoris Bergh, 1880."
Dayrat, B., & T. M. Gosliner. 2005. Species names and metaphyly:
a case study in Discodorididae (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Euthyneura, Nudibranchia,
Doridina). Zoologica Scripta 34(2):199-224.
I quote the abstract: " Therefore, instead of reallocating some Carminodoris
species to Hoplodoris, it is actually some Hoplodoris species
that need to be transferred to Carminodoris."
WoRMS - World Register of Marine Species places it in the genus Hoplodoris.

NUDIPIXEL uses Hoplodoris.
I follow Gosliner, et al, 2008 and place it in the genus Carminodoris
in the family Discodorididae.
