Bergh, 1884[1]

Baptodoris is a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Discodorididae.[2]

The genus Baptodoris 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 Platydorididae.[3] In 2002 Valdés has given the name Discodorididae precedence over the name Platydorididae.[4]

The Sea Slug Forum however classifies this genus in the family Dorididae.
