There remains some disagreement regarding the nomenclatural status of D. krusensternii, with some authors preferring to retain the name, Dendrodoris denisoni (Angas, 1864) (e.g., Gosliner et al.). This may be in response to comments by Valdés & Fahey which, regarding the species illustrated by Gray, 1850, refrained from formally synonymising D. denisoni with D. krusensternii. Rather, they stated that this nomenclatural problem ought to be resolved as part of a larger study.
