I love Greek mythology and the use of Latin and Greek for the scientific names of nudibranchs even more ....
Diaphorodoris: from Greek [diaphoros] = different, remarkable; and Doris, daughter of the Greek gods Oceanos and Thetys, married to the sea god Nereus. Together, Nereus and Doris had 50 daughters, the Nereids (sea nymphs).
Some Doridian nudibranchs were named after Doris and this name is found in many genus names (Chromodoris, Acanthodoris, Peltodoris, Platydoris, Hypselodoris, etc.).
Therefore, this name Diaphorodoris could designate a doris that is out of the ordinary, that stands out from the others.

Me encanta la mitología griega y que se utilice el latin y el griego para los nombres cientificos de los nudibranquios aun mas....
Diaphorodoris: del griego [diaphoros] = diferente, notable; y Doris, hija de los dioses griegos Oceanos y Thetys, casada con el dios del mar Nereus. Juntos, Nereo y Doris tuvieron 50 hijas, las Nereidas (ninfas marinas).
Doris dio su nombre a algunos nudibranquios de Doridian y este nombre se encuentra en muchos nombres de género (Chromodoris, Acanthodoris, Peltodoris, Platydoris, Hypselodoris, etc.).
Por lo tanto, este nombre de Diaphorodoris podría designar una doris que está fuera de lo común, que se destaca de los demás.
