Distribution Mediterranean Sea: Port-Vendres (France). [details]
Etymology The specific epithet filiformis is a Latin adjective meaning 'threadlike', and presumably refers to the long and thin body of the species: ''La C. filiformis atteint une longueur d'environ 6 centimètres sur une largeur d'à peine 1mm'' (Claparède, 1864: 509). [details]
Habitat Not stated, unknown. [details]
Neotype Type locality was Port Vendres, Mediterranean coast of France but no type specimen existed. A neotype was published by Hutchings & Rainer (1982) using specimen MNHN AS405, from Alexandria, Egypt, 1933, ident. P. Fauvel. This specimen is not listed in the MNHN list of types published by Solís-Weiss, Bertrand, Helléouet & Pleijel (2004). The neotype was described as "It lacks posterior segments, and appears to have been stretched during preservation" No illustrations were included in the 'redescription'. [details]
Specimen Types not retained. [details]
Taxonomy Moved to different genus. [details]
Type locality Port-Vendres, France, situated near the Spanish border on the Côte Vermeille in south west France, Mediterranean Sea (gazetteer estimate 42.519º, 03.109º). As no type material could be found, Hutchings & Rainer (1982) created a neotype using MNHN AS405, a specimen said to be from Alexandria, Egypt, 1933, ident. P. Fauvel. No new geolocation was given.
