For example, the genus  Atagema was recovered monophyletic with the caveat that it also includes the  South American species  Diaulula hispida .  However, as Valdés and Muniain (2002) indicated,  Dia. hispida is characterized by having a dorsal longitudinal ridge, which is unique to members of the genus  Atagema . Tis, together with our molecular evidence, leads us to propose  Atagema hispida comb. rest.. Additional species traditionally assigned to  Diaulula appear in separate clades, suggesting this group needs reassessment. Te type species  Dia. sandiegensis was included in a well-supported clade containing  Dia. punctuolata . Tis clade needs further data and sequences from additional species of  Diaulula, but if the name  Diaulula is restricted to the clade containing the type species, other species previously assigned to  Diaulula, such as  Dia . greeleoi and  Dia . naoarita, need a new generic placement.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E1879FCB6EFFB7FC62FBB31809F968	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Similar results were found in other molecular analyses highlighting  Aphelodoris as a problematic group (Hallas et al. 2017) against morphological odds (Valdés 2002). Another conflicting result with morphological data is the fact that the caryophyllidia-bearing dorids are not monophyletic (Valdés 2002, Fahey and Healy 2003), which contradicts the conclusions by Valdés and Gosliner (2001). Tese results suggest that these complex dermal organs have evolved multiple times independently or have evolved early in  Discodorididae (based on the early split of  Atagema) and have been lost multiple times. Te family  Dorididae contains a substantial amount of diversity, suggesting that the proposal by Valdés (2002) to synonymize several taxa with the genus  Doris was overly simplistic. More work is needed in this group to provide a more up-to-date taxonomy consistent with both molecular and morphological data. Since  Doriopsis,  Conualevia, and  Homoiodoris are accepted genera within  Dorididae, the Northern Hemisphere genus  Archidoris and the Southern Hemisphere  Austrodoris, synonyms of  Doris, should be re-erected. Within  Dorididae, our results support recent findings by Renau et al. (2024), except for the inclusion of  Rostanga poddubetskaiae . Te morpho-anatomical characters that define the species were recognized as unusual, but molecular data placed the species in the genus  Rostanga (Innabi et al. 2023) . Here, we suggest transferring the species to  Dorididae under the name ‘  Doris ’ poddubetskaiae comb. nov. pending a thorough taxonomic assessment of  Dorididae .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E1879FCB6EFFB7FE9EFBD3186FFBFB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(Ev.Marcus and Er.Marcus, 1963) (Lindsay et al. 2016), and represents here a synonym of  Tao. maculosa . An additional  Taouva species from the North-Eastern Atlantic is here recognized as a separate species, which most likely corresponds to the name  Discodoris confusa Ballesteros, Llera and Ortea, 1985 here resurrected as Tay.  confusa stat. rest. comb. nov.. Te genus  Peltodoris is also enigmatic since the type species  P. atromaculata forms a clade with near maximum support with  Taouva . In fact, within the genus  Taouva, some species were previously described as  Peltodoris and later synonymized, such as Pe. crucis (Mörch, 1863) sensu Bergh, 1880 (Dayrat 2010) and Pe.  hummelincki (this study). More genomic data are needed to assess this group and to assess the possible synonymy of  Taouva to  Peltodoris .</p><p>Another clade with high support, including taxa previously regarded as members of different groups, is the one comprising  Discodoris rosi and  Carminodoris boucheti, which were recovered sister to  Gargamella immaculata Bergh, 1894 and  Rostanga elandsia . Previous morphological studies have already proposed the inclusion of  Dis. rosi in  Rostanga because of the possession of elongate, slender lateral teeth, a character traditionally used to recognize  Rostanga species (Rudman and Avern 1989, Dayrat and Gosliner 2005, Dayrat 2011). Also, like the species of  Rostanga,  Dis. rosi, and  C. boucheti possess caryophyllidia, which is otherwise missing in  Discodoris (Ortea et al. 2014) . However, the labial cuticle is smooth in  Dis. rosi but armed with jaw elements in  Rostanga and  Discodoris (Ortea et al. 2014), except for  R. elandsia, which has a smooth jaw lacking elements (Garovoy et al. 2001). Tus, some authors maintained  Dis. rosi in  Discodoris, waiting for further clarification (Sánchez-Tocino 2003, Cervera et al. 2004). Since both  Dis. rosi and  C. boucheti also cluster together with the type species  Ga. immaculata, and because both  C. boucheti and  Gargamella present a smooth labial cuticle (Perrone and Doneddu 1996, Ortea et al. 2006), as mentioned above for  Dis. rosi and  R. elandsia, we transferred this species to  Gargamella as  Ga. boucheti comb. nov.,  Ga. elandsia comb. nov., and  Ga. rosi comb. nov. .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E1879FCB61FFBAFC95F9B91C47F904	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
