Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [1791540<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic Note:<\/strong> Fern\u00e1ndez-Vilert et al. (2024) conducted a series of genetic analysis on a broad sample of sea slugs from the family Discodorididae<\/em> and, among many other novel and interesting findings, observed that Discodoris rosi<\/em> Ortea, 1979, from northwestern and northeastern Spain, clustered with Carminodoris boucheti<\/em> Ortea, 1979, from northeastern Spain. Previous morphological studies had already suggested placing Discodoris rosi<\/em> in the genus Rostanga<\/em> due to its elongated, slender lateral radular teeth, a character traditionally used to identify Rostanga<\/em> species (Rudman & Avern 1989; Dayrat & Gosliner 2005; Dayrat 2011). Additionally, like other species of Rostanga<\/em>, Discodoris rosi<\/em> and Carminodoris boucheti<\/em> possess caryophyllidia tubercles, a feature absent in the genus Discodoris<\/em> (Ortea et al. 2014). However, the labial cuticle of Discodoris rosi<\/em> is smooth, whereas it is armed with jaw elements in both Rostanga<\/em> and Discodoris<\/em> (Ortea et al. 2014), except for Rostanga elandsia<\/em>, which has a smooth, unarmed jaw (Garovoy et al. 2001). For this reason, some authors retained Discodoris rosi<\/em> in Discodoris<\/em>, pending further clarification (S\u00e1nchez-Tocino 2003; Cervera et al. 2004). Since both Discodoris rosi<\/em> and Carminodoris boucheti<\/em> also cluster with the type species Gargamella immaculata<\/em>, and given that Carminodoris boucheti<\/em> and Gargamella<\/em> share a smooth labial cuticle (Perrone & Doneddu 1996; Ortea et al. 2006), as previously noted for Discodoris rosi<\/em> and Rostanga elandsia<\/em>, Fern\u00e1ndez-Vilert et al. (2024) transferred these species to Gargamella<\/em>, establishing the new combinations Gargamella boucheti<\/em>, Gargamella elandsia<\/em>, and Gargamella rosi<\/em>.<\/p>\n
