The genus ''Taringa'' was described by Ernst Gustav Gotthelf Marcus
Ernst Gustav Gotthelf Marcus (8 June 1893 – 30 June 1968) was a German zoologist, occupant of the chair of zoology at the University of São Paulo from 1936 to 1963, and co-founder of the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo ...

They used ''Taringa'' as the valid name (declaring it to be a ''nomen protectum'') because they (erroneously) considered the senior synonym ''Aporodoris'' not to have been used as a valid name since 1886.
