You're right, it has been recovered as a valid species a few months after this commit. At that time it was considered a junior and invalid synonym of D. krusensternii. I'll split them as soon as I find some spare time.
Ah, ok.
Thank you JP.

Could you clarify for me @jpsilva that all of the New Zealand "gem" doris obs should be Dendrodoris denisoni ?
Just check the distributions and references for both species on WoRMS. However, I think we still haven't heard the last on this and future molecular studies will most likely introduce changes.
hmm, so I should leave it alone for now? :)
Hi @jpsilva.
Are you sure about this?
According to WoRMS, Dendrodoris krusensternii (Gray, 1850) is not a New Zealand species, but Dendrodoris denisoni (Angas, 1864) is.
I can see that Doris denisoni Angas, 1864 is listed as a junior synonym of D.krusensternii, but it is also listed as the original name of D.denisoni.
Can you please explain this - I don't understand what is going on there.
Regards,
Peter
