The genus Okenia split: Some old synonymized genera Bermudella, Cargoa, and Ceratodoris are resurrected and a new genus, Naisdoris gen. nov., is described

Hi Everyone,

The genus Okenia includes most of the synonymized genera in Goniodorididae. The validity of synonyms has been re-evaluated in light of the available molecular data recently and 3 old genera Bermudella, Cargoa, and Ceratodoris are resurrected and a new genus, Naisdoris gen. nov., is described. Then, some moved into Goniodoridella.

Enjoy reading!
