Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Mollusca
Class:	Gastropoda
Order:	Nudibranchia
Family:	Discodorididae
Genus:	Carminodoris Bergh, 1889[1]
Type species
Carminodoris mauritiana Bergh, 1889

The genus Carminodoris was originally classified by Bergh in 1891 in the subfamily Platydorididae (despite the use of suffix -idea), a subfamily of the family Dorididae. In 1934 Alice Pruvot-Fol elevated this subfamily to its new status as family Latydorididae.^[2] In 2002 Valdés has given the name Discodorididae precedence over the name Platydorididae.^[3]

The Sea Slug Forum however classifies this genus in the family Dorididae.^[4]
