Taxonomy
Chromidina elegans was first described from specimen collected from off Naples, Italy, by Foettinger in 1881, bearing the name Benedenia elegans.[1] It was reassigned to the Genus Chromidina by Gonder, in 1905.[2]
The species was first redescribed by Chatton & Lwoff in 1935.[3] and again redescribed in 2016 based on material in the collections of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. In the 2016 describtion, a neohapantotype and paraneohapantotypes were assigned to the taxon.[4]
