Nomenclature The name Doris grandiflora Pease, 1860 is a primary junior homonym of Doris grandiflora Rapp. Rapp’s species is now placed in Dendrodoris and Pease’s species is placed in Hoplodoris. Since these species have been considered as being in different genera after 1899, Article 23.9.5 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature states that these junior homonyms should not automatically be replaced. Both names have been in common usage and suppressing either would be disruptive, thus both names should be retained. (Fahey & Gosliner 2003) [details]
