Taxonomic history

The use of the genus name ''Glossodoris'' has been a subject of debate amongst taxonomists for over 150 years. Because it is the oldest name in the Chromodorididae it has been used differently by different taxonomists, sometimes including many species of ''Hypselodoris'' and ''Chromodoris'' and the other smaller genera recognised today. Its modern status is based on the analysis of DNA sequences.
