Etymology No etymology is stated. Flabellum is fan in Latin and derma is Greek for skin. Salazar-Vallejo (2007:2039) suggested that Hartman was perhaps indicating the difference in the body wall from Flabelligera because of the formation of dorsal tubercles and fused larger tubercles, but while the use of the word 'derma' is logical, it is unclear why she retained 'flabellum'. It may have been simply to maintain the connection with the stem of the original 'Flabelligera' genus name, as Salazar-Vallejo later did with his new genera Flabesymbios, Flabegraviera, and Flabehlersia.

Taxonomy Hartman's naming of Flabelliderma becomes not straightforward because of the type species she chose. Hartman (1969:286) included two new combinations in Flabelliderma. First Flabelliderma essenbergae (Hartman, 1961), originally a replacement name of hers in Flabelligera for Stylarioides papillosa Essenberg, 1922, a name junior to Siphonostoma papillosum Grube, 1840, which Hartman wrongly (fide Salazar-Vallejo) thought was also a Flabelligera (see Hartman Catalogue p.416 where she tags Flabelligera papillosa (Essenberg) as a homonym despite not also listing Grube's papillosa as a Flabelligera (it is listed under Siphonostoma Rathke [sic] which she refers to Flabelligera. Later Salazar-Vallejo (2011: 169) places Siphonostoma papillosum Grube, 1840 as a Stylarioides, a junior synonym of Stylarioides monilifer delle Chiaje, 1831, thus removing the secondary homonymy. Secondly. Hartman (1969) included Flabelligera commensalis Moore, 1909 in Flabelliderma. [details]
