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>This species leaded one of the most famous controversies in the opisthobranch world. There is a group of specialists that claimed\u00a0Felimare tricolor<\/em>\u00a0was a different species without discussion, while others claimed that it was Felimare\u00a0midatlantica<\/em> (Gosliner, 1990). Since the paper (Furfaro et al., 2016) it can be concluded that\u00a0Felimare midatlantica<\/em>\u00a0is F. tricolor<\/em> in the end. Both WoRMS and CLEMAM databases label\u00a0F. tricolor<\/em>\u00a0as a valid species and F. midatlantica<\/em>\u00a0as a synonym.<\/p>\n
