Taxonomy Chloeia candida is senior to Chloeia viridis Schmarda, 1861 and therefore cannot be synonymised under it (cf. Hartman, 1948:37). Yáñez-Rivera & Salazar-Vallejo (2022), In discussion on C. viridis, state that Chloeia candida is indeterminable from its holotype which is a juvenile. However, they note that Alós & Nüñez (2012: 53) in Fauna Iberica #36 used C. candida as valid in European waters. The type locality is in the Caribbean Sea, so this seems an unlikely amphi-Atlantic distribution. Alós & Nüñez are reporting usages of the name by Fauvel (1914), Hartmann-Schröder (1977) and Nunez et al (2005, Canary Islands). [details]
