Chloeia candida Kinberg, 1857
Chloeia viridis
Schmarda, 1861
Notes
Reported from Greece by
Arvanitidis (1994)
. In the Mediterranean also reported from the western basin (
Fauvel and Rullier 1959
), otherwise distributed in the Caribbean and tropical Atlantic.
Chloeia viridis
is the name prevailing in literature, with
Chloeia candida
as a synonym (referred to synonymy by
Hartman (1948)
, although
Barroso and Paiva (2011)
stress that this synonymy should be re-evaluated). The publication year of Kinberg's species is sometimes cited as 1910, but the species was in fact described in 1857 (
Kinberg 1857
) and thus the name
Chloeia candida
takes priority.
