Bill:
I understand that Martynov (1994a) reassigned the species to the genus Psammodoris. Then Valdés and Bouchet (1998) in their reorganization of Corambids have now placed it in the genus Loy Martynov, 1994.

Additionally we have recorded the species from Port Valdez, Alaska (Nora Foster, pers. comm.)

Dear Dave,
Thanks for reminding me of Martynov's publications which I have listed below. I am happy to follow Valdés & Bouchet, which means I should transfer Doridella sp. to Corambe
