Taxonomy It is unclear whether records in the Eastern Mediterranean (e.g. Valdés & Templado, 2002) are this species, or were confused either with the native Discodoris maculosa Bergh, 1884 [synonym of circumglobal Tayuva lilacina according to Dayrat, 2010] or with the alien Sebadoris fragilis (Alder & Hancock, 1864). Dayrat (2010: 98) wrote that "most of the unambiguous citations of fragilis or concinna in the literature have actually referred to Sebodoris fragilis (not lilacina), in particular in the Indian Ocean..."

Taxonomy Dayrat (2010) places this species in the genus Tayuva Marcus & Marcus, 1967 (type species by original designation: Tayuva ketos Marcus & Marcus, 1967, from Pacific coast of Mexico) on the basis of a synapomorphy “a muscular wall in the distal portion of the reproductive system”. Discodoris lilacina in the current sense (e.g. Valdés, 2002) is indicated as “Tayuva lilacina of tropical Indo-West Pacific”, and several worldwide species currently recognized as valid are subsumed: Tayuva ketos as “Tayuva lilacina of Panamic Eastern Pacific” (contra Valdés, 2002 who holds Tayuva as a synonym of Discodoris and Discodoris ketos (Marcus & Marcus, 1967) as a valid species); Peltodoris hummelincki Marcus & Marcus, 1963 as “Tayuva lilacina of the Caribbean Sea”; Discodoris maculosa Bergh, 1884 as “Tayuva lilacina of the Mediterranean and Eastern European Atlantic”. Dayrat nevertheless acknowledges (p. 78) that “The name T. lilacina, as used here, likely refers to a species complex”. In WoRMS these are still treated as separate entries under the accustomed species names. [details]
