For the species H. picta, H. bilineata and N. villafranca subspecies have been defined on the basis of diferences in colour pattem.
Eigth new species are described, 6 in the genus Hypselodoris: N. gasconi, N. gofasi, H. xicoi, N. ciminoi, N. muniani, and N. espinosai, 1 in the genus Chromodoris: Chromodoris goslineri, and 2 in the genus Mexichromis: M. molloi and M. garciagomezi.
