Taxonomic history

Many of the species currently included in the genus ''Felimida'' were previously contained in the large genus ''Chromodoris'' until a revision of the family Chromodorididae in 2012 demonstrated that the name ''Chromodoris'' should be used for a smaller group of species.Rudman W.B. (1984) ''The Chromodorididae (Opisthobranchia: Mollusca) of the Indo-West Pacific: a review of the genera''. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 81 (2/3): 115-273. page(s): 130
