Taxon Notes:	This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
Scientific Name Notes:	This name 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.
