Scientific Name Notes:This species was included in "Montereina" which was used by Dayrat (2010) as a "catch-all" genus for those species previously placed in Discodoris or Peltodoris but can no longer be included under the new definitions of those genera, but also cannot yet be definitively placed in other genera. All members of this "genus" are in urgent of revision.
