Durvilledoris was a genus of sea slugs, dorid nudibranchs, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the family Chromodorididae. This genus has become a synonym of Mexichromis Bertsch, 1977 [2] Although the type species of this genus was transferred to Mexichromis two species were not reallocated nor mentioned in the text.[3][4][5]
