Bertsch and Gosliner (1989) [2] erected the name Hypselodoris andersoni for the locust nudibranch, unaware of Bergh's earlier name. However, Rudman (2000) recognized that C. peasei matched the description of H. andersoni and Epstein et al., (2018) formalized the priority of Hypselodoris peasei over H. andersoni .
