Taxonomy

The genus ''Taringa'' was described by Ernst Gustav Gotthelf Marcus in 1955 with the type species ''Taringa telopia''.

Valdés & Gosliner (2001)Valdés Á. & Gosliner T. M. (2001). "Systematics and phylogeny of the caryophyllidia-bearing dorids (Mollusca, Nudibranchia), with the description of a new genus and four new species from Indo-Pacific deep waters". ''Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society'' 133(2): 103-198. doi:10.1111/j.1096-3642.2001.tb00689.x. synonymized the genera ''Aporodoris'' Ihering, 1886 and ''Taringa'' Er. Marcus, 1955. They used ''Taringa'' as the valid name (declaring it to be a ''nomen protectum'') because they (erroneously) considered the senior synonym ''Aporodoris'' not to have been used as a valid name since 1886.

Valdés & Gosliner (2001) carried out an erroneous reversal precedence. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature should publish a decision on which name should be used in such cases, according t
Article 23.10
of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. In the meantime, the name in prevailing usage must be used (according to Article 23.10).

Dayrat (2010) agreed with the synonymization of the genera ''Aporodoris'' and ''Taringa''. However, he considered the generic name ''Aporodoris'' and the specific name ''Aporodoris millegrana'' to be valid using strict application of the Principle of Priority.
