Apparently Khera (1975) compared Chromanema only to those genera of Chromadoridae also found in freshwater habitats. The author stated that Chromanema is close to Chromadorella in having a pharynx without distinct bulb, however differs from it in having a single dorsal tooth. The description of the only species, C. solitarium Khera, 1975 , presents some strange details, such as an anterior circle of sensilla with eight setae, which can be misinterpretation of what the author saw. There is no mention of Chromanema in Lorenzen (1994) and Tchesunov (2014) and we prefer to consider this genus as dubious due to the poor and questionable description based on a single male.
