Taxonomic note: <\/strong>The European Atlantic and Mediterranean species of the genus Chromodoris<\/em> and Hypselodoris<\/em> have been reconsidered. After molecular analysis of the Chromodorididae performed by Johnson & Gosliner (2012, Traditional taxonomic groupings mask evolutionary history: A molecular phylogeny and new classification of the chromodorid nudibranchs<\/a>. PLoS ONE 7(4): 33479) the Hypselodoris<\/em> species have been included in the genus Felimare<\/em> Ev. Marcus & Er. Marcus, 1967 and the Chromodoris<\/em> species have been included in the genus Felimida<\/em> Ev. Marcus, 1971.<\/p>A recently published study (de Oliveira et al., 2025) assigns this species to a new genus based on morphological characters (absence of a rachidian tooth and the presence of a long, thin vagina) and molecular evidence, which separate the members of the newly erected genus\u00a0Rudmania\u00a0<\/em>from other species of\u00a0Felimida<\/em>.<\/p>\n
