Nomenclature Burn (2018) established that the name Flabellina was first established by McMurtrie in the first English edition of Cuvier's Règne Animal. The name Flabellina had earlier been attributed by ICZN Opinion 781 to Voigt (1834), in the German edition of Cuvier's work; and later to Gray (1833) in Griffith & Pidgeon's translation of the same work.

Taxonomy Gosliner and Griffiths (1981) pointed out the occurrence of species including characteristics of both Flabellina and Coryphella. Therefore, no such generic division is necessary, and the generic name Coryphella Gray, 1850 is considered a junior synonym of Flabellina Voigt, 1834. This proposal was confirmed by phylogenetic analyses by Gosliner and Kuzirian (1990) and Gosliner and Willan (1991). Nevertheless, some authors do not agree with this view, and prefer to retain Coryphella as a valid genus. [details]
