[3] The specific name dorri is in honour of captain Émile Dorr (1857-1907) who collected type specimens in North Central Coast region of nowadays Vietnam.

[3] Kantor & Kilburn (2001)[3] reported on the rediscovery of Nassodonta dorri, described the shell, radula and provided some preliminary anatomical observations based on a single, poorly preserved female, and discussed the family placement of the genus.

[3] Simone (2007)[5] provided a description of the external anatomy, proboscis musculature and radula, based on semi-mummified specimens.

[4] Strong et al. provided anatomical and molecular phylogeny analysis and placed it into the newly established subfamily Anentominae and they confirmed the placement of this species within family Nassariidae.

[4] Frontal part of the foot (propodium) is narrow with posterior extent marked by indistinct notch, poorly demarcated from mesopodium.

[4] Females: ovipositor is forming deep, simple pore surrounded by weakly developed subepithelial glands.

[3] Reported depth is about 3 m.[3] This species lives in turbid brackish waters and is capable of withstanding a wide range of salinities.
