Remarks. This species was revised in detail under
the name Anisodoris fontaini by Schrödl (1997a,
2000a), then called Doris fontainei by Valdés & Muniain
(2002), and placed tentatively into the genus
Archidoris by Schrödl (2003). We feel that comprehensive
molecular phylogenetic analyses are required to
rearrange dorid systematics. Regardless of uncertain
generic affiliations and different opinions on the
valid species name, this southern American species
is unmistakable because of its large body size up to
10 cm, triangular, grooved oral tentacles and large
notal tubercles. For a temperate benthic invertebrate
species it has an extreme latitudinal range of roughly
45 degrees in the Pacific, and still 20 latitudinal
degrees in the southwestern Atlantic.
