Jorunna rubescens is very strange looking dorid which looks more like a
Nembrotha or Polycera than a species of Jorunna. It was formerly known as
Kentrodoris rubescens, but Angel Valdés and Terrence M. Gosliner reviewed the
caryophyllidia-bearing dorids. One of their conclusions is that Kentrodoris
is a generic synonym of Jorunna. Have a look on this at
Valdés, A. & Gosliner, T. M. (2001) Systematics and phylogeny of the caryophyllidia-bearing dorids (Mollusca, Nudibranchia),
with the description of a new genus and four new species from Indo-Pacific deep waters. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 133: 103-198.
