The genus Carminodoris was originally classified by Bergh in 1891 in the subfamily Platydorididae (despite the use of the suffix -idea), a subfamily of the family Dorididae. In 1934 Alice Pruvot-Fol elevated this subfamily to its new status as the family Latydorididae.[2] In 2002 Valdés gave the name Discodorididae precedence over the name Platydorididae.[3]
The Sea Slug Forum however classifies this genus in the family Dorididae.[4]
