Remarks
. The specific derivation is enigmatic; the Latin word
candidus
(
a, um
) means white. However, the illustration for the dorsal view of a complete specimen (
Kinberg 1910
, Pl. 11,
Fig. 2A
) shows a middorsal dark spot, resembling
C. viridis
Schmarda, 1861
.
Hartman (1949: 37)
regarded
C. candida
as a juvenile of
C. viridis
Schmarda, 1861
. This might imply a need to call for a reversal of priority. However, because the species name was based on a juvenile, and the original description indicated bipinnate branchiae were present from chaetiger 2, it was regarded as indeterminable (
Yáñez-Rivera & Salazar-Vallejo 2022
).
