Homonymy There is no Chloenea McIntosh, 1885 homonym as incorrectly stated by Hartman Catalogue p. 132. McIntosh indicates he was using Kinberg's genus for his new species, Chloenea atlantica [details]
Taxonomy erected by Kinberg, 1867, for Chloeia candida, an existing combination from Kinberg 1857, and for Chloenea pallida, an apparent nomen nudum as Kinberg gives no prior combination. There is an Amphinome pallida of Quatrefages (1866) but as Kinberg mentions Brazil as the collection location it seems the name was newly created by Kinberg. With no remaining valid species it seems correct to follow Hartman's Catalogue referral of the genus as a junior synonym to Chloeia [details]
