Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Rudolph Bergh gave two names to two individuals of this animal (which he, of course, did not recognize as the same animal at the time) in the same 1877 paper: Nembrotha nigerrima and Nembrotha kubaryana. Pola, Cervera and Gosliner originally gave priority to Nembrotha nigerrima in their March 2008 Scientia Marina revision of the genus and set Nembrotha kubaryana as synonym based on their interpretation of the Code. However, after further discussion among scientists in the area, they reversed their conclusion. Priority of Nembrotha kubaryana was reestablished by the same authors in a note in their September 2008 Bulletin of Marine Science article on another genus of the same subfamily.
