I disagree. let me quote:
"They are two of the five chromodorid species with
a plesiomorphic serial reproductive system (C. loringi, C.thompsoni,
C. woddwardae) [26,28,89]. All five of these species are found only in
southeastern Australia. These species were found to be more
closely related to Cadlina than Chromodoris by Wilson & Lee [17],
but as part of the chromodorid grade in Turner & Wilson [27].
Clearly further work on this group and its relationship to all
cryptobranchs is needed. The addition of specimens of C. loringi, C.
thompsoni and C. woodwardae [26,89,99], the only other
chromodorid species known to have a serial reproductive system
may help solve this problem. These two species are always each
other’s closest relatives and are sister to the rest of the Miamirainae
in the all analyses. As suggested by Dayrat & Gosliner they
should be considered Chromodorididae,..."
Chromodorididae thompsoni, is invalid that is the reason why WoRMS lists it still as
http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=533917
I thought iNaturalist does follow WoRMS
where do Johnson & Gosliner (21012) write Goniobranchus thomsoni? I have scanned the text
several times, there is NO
