Ab van Lenten According to wiki we are using a synonym, same species?
João Pedro Silva Quite, but you have to understand there are valid, accepted synonyms and unaccepted ones, usually junor (described later). That is why we don't use the invalid synonyms, otherwise we could still use Doris auriculatus, the name Müller gave to Facelina auriculata in 1776. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facelina_auriculata
Ab van Lenten Ok, I see I need to read some more about this, thanks
Kirstie Knowles For those of us still getting up to speed with the taxonomy of these beasties, I find using WORMS (World Register of Marine Species) to be very useful (and user friendly to non-specialists). Obviously updates happening all the time but the WORMS editors are specialists themselves and pretty onto it.

Phil Wardle This was taken 4 weeks ago in Malta and was told it is called Disco DorisPhil Wardle
Phil Wardle if anyone could tell me actual name or is actually called Disco Doris?
Sylvie Omnès Peltodoris atromaculata ( common name "dalmatian doris" )
Phil Wardle thks
Sylvie Omnès "Discodoris" is the name of another "family" of nudis .
Ken Hawkhead Have you seen one of them Pete
João Pedro Silva Peltodoris atromaculata (previously was also known as Discodoris atromaculata). As Sylvie Omnès says, this one has common names which really point to a single species. In French, it's the "Doris dalmatien", in Italian it's "vacchetta di mare", in Spanish "vaquita", in Portuguese "vaquinha" (these three mean the same, "little cow"). At least for the species in this area, it's a unique case where I think the common name is useful and effective.
Gavin Bushell Could I have seen this in the Azores as well? I didn't have my camera but I am sure I saw one of these last week diving on the south coast of Pico, in about 20 metres on a vertical wall in very thin algae. About 2 cms long. I made a fairly good note of it on my slate.
João Pedro Silva Yes, they're actually more common in the Azores than in continental Portugal.
Gavin Bushell Brilliant, thanks so much.
João Pedro Silva They grow quite a bit. At 2cm long it was a relatively small individual.
