Type locality Locality unknown (Indo- Pacific?). Baird described an apparently unlabelled Chloeia specimen in the British Museum which was of unknown provenance (no location or habitat), and despite the inadequate information, and that he didn't illustrate it other than two chaetal figures, he nevertheless named it as Chloeia parva (it was small at one inch in length),  [details]
Etymology It is assumed that Chloeia parva was so named because it was small at one inch in length. Latin 'parvus' means little.

From editor or global species database
Etymology It is assumed that Chloeia parva was so named because it was small at one inch in length. Latin 'parvus' means little.  [details]

Synonymy There is no body type or body figure for examination but Salazar-Vallejo (2023) synonymized Chloeia parva to Chloeia incerta Quatrefages on the basis of Baird's description of the dorsal body pigmentation pattern of C. parva which corresponded to one of the syntypes of senior name Chloeia incerta, which was previously a synonym of C. flava. C. incerta syntypes were of mixed species including C. flava but Salazar-Vallejo (2023) selected as lectotype the one that corresponded to the pigment pattern of C. parva, thus creating a synonymy. [details]

Type locality Locality unknown (Indo- Pacific?). Baird described an apparently unlabelled Chloeia specimen in the British Museum which was of unknown provenance (no location or habitat), and despite the inadequate information, and that he didn't illustrate it other than two chaetal figures, he nevertheless named it as Chloeia parva (it was small at one inch in length),  [details]

Type specimen According to Wang et al (2019) all that remains of the holotype and only original specimen is BMNH 1962.3.43a which is a slide of a parapodium at The Natural History Museum, London. They note that "Based on arrangements of the chaetae and cirri, this is an anterior parapodium from the right hand side of the body. Its notopodial cirri are biarticulated, with dark purple cirrophore and light purple cirrostyle; cirrostyle about three times the length of cirrophore; neuropodial cirri missing. There are remarkable dark purple pigmentations on the inner- and outer side of the parapodium, which are similar to those of [their] Hong Kong specimens". Salazar-Vallejo (2023: 73) states simply that "the type specimen is lost (E. Sherlock 2021 in litt.)" and does not mention the slide (which is catalogued as the holotype in the British Natural History museum digital catalogue) [details]
