Remarks.
Discodoris voniheringi
MacFarland, 1909
was described from
Brazil
based on a single specimen, and it was regarded as
nomen dubium
by Dayrat (2010) after examination of
type
material. The long, but general description presented by MacFarland (1909) does not allow distinguishing this species from other species of the genus
Discodoris
, even after this revision. We agree with the position of Dayrat (2010).
