Felimida grahami
Felimida grahami is a species of colourful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Chromodorididae.
Taxonomic history
This species should be transferred to Felimida according to Johnson & Gosliner.‘Felimida’ Marcus, 1971 .
Type species: Felimida sphoni Marcus, 1971
This name will be used for all eastern Pacific and Atlantic species of Chromodoris and Glossodoris. These species form a polytomy including Glossodoris baumanni and three clades of Atlantic and Eastern Pacific chromodorids.
Chromodoris clenchi, C. norrisi and C. sphoni
Glossodoris dalli and G. edmundsi
Chromodoris krohni, C. luteorosea and C. purpurea
These exclusively eastern Pacific and Atlantic clades do not form a monophyletic group, but we will provisionally name all of these species ‘Felimida’. This is the most conservative choice, the choice that requires the fewest name changes and is the least disruptive pending further information and broader taxon sampling.
