From editor or global species database
Type species Lamarck (1818: 329) used the recombination Chloeia capillata for the single species he placed in new genus Chloeia. Thus the original combination of this name, Amphinome capillata Bruguière, 1789, is the type species of Chloeia by monotypy. Amphinome capillata and Aphrodita flava were included by Lamarck in the synonymy of Chloeia capillata. However, these three are the same taxon. The true situation is that Amphinome capillata is the objective junior synonym of Aphrodita flava Pallas. It was an invalid but available name created as an unnecessary replacement name for Aphrodita flava Pallas 1766 as a recombination in Amphinome. In Fauchald (1977 :102) Aphrodita flava is given as the type species of Chloeia, and in the Hartman catalogue the type species is given as Chloeia flava (Pallas). Again these are the same taxon as "Chloeia capillata". [details]

Authority Lamarck,1818 is the author of Chloeia. His description contains no reference to the Savigny MS later published in 1822, and the species names Lamarck included are existing names and do not relate to Savigny. As there is no reference to Savigny in the Chloeia text he cannot be credited as an author (Code article 50). Savigny is also not a co-author of Lamarck's Histoire naturelle volume 5. However, Salazar-Vallejo (2023: 4) states "Savigny (1822: 14, 58) provided morphological features for proposing Chloeia, his ideas were presented in academic meetings in Paris, and later abridged by Lamarck (1818: 330)". This is speculative but could be part of what happened, but as there is no evidence in Lamarck's text to support this scenario Savigny is not the author of Chloeia, and under the Code he would not be the author even if Lamarck had cited the Savigny MS as one of his sources of information for Chloeia which he did not do. The insistence of some authors that "Savigny in Lamarck" is the authorship strangely extends to altering a direct quote from Hartman's 1967 (p.43) Eltanin monograph to insert "Savigny in Lamarck 1818" in the sentence quoted where Hartman had not included an authorship. This unfortunate misrepresentation occurs in Bleeker et al (2023: 436). [details] Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Lamarck (1818: 328): "Trompe .... cinq antennes subulées, biarticulées: les mitoyennes rapprochées, insérées sous l'antenne impaire; les deux extrêmes écartées. Branchies en forme de feuilles tripinnatifides, écartées de la base des rames supérieures. Un cirre surnuméraire aux rames supérieures des quatre ou cinq premières paires de pieds. Deux yeux distincts. Proboscis . . . antennae quinque subulatae, biarticulatae: intermediis infrà antennam imparem insertis; exterioribus duabus remotis. Branchiae folia tripinnatifida simulantes, è basi ramorum superiorum distantes. Cirrus ultrà numerum ad remos superiores pariorum primorum quatuor seu quinque pedum. Oculi duo distincti." [details] Etymology Not stated in the original description but maybe from Chlöe, one of the epithets of Demeter, goddess of the harvest and agriculture in ancient Greek mythology, invoking her powers of ever-returning fertility. [details] Grammatical gender Feminine. Authors are united in regarding Chloeia as feminine. Chloe is one of the names of the goddess Demeter [details] Type species Lamarck (1818: 329) used the recombination Chloeia capillata for the single species he placed in new genus Chloeia. Thus the original combination of this name, Amphinome capillata Bruguière, 1789, is the type species of Chloeia by monotypy. Amphinome capillata and Aphrodita flava were included by Lamarck in the synonymy of Chloeia capillata. However, these three are the same taxon. The true situation is that Amphinome capillata is the objective junior synonym of Aphrodita flava Pallas. It was an invalid but available name created as an unnecessary replacement name for Aphrodita flava Pallas 1766 as a recombination in Amphinome. In Fauchald (1977 :102) Aphrodita flava is given as the type species of Chloeia, and in the Hartman catalogue the type species is given as Chloeia flava (Pallas). Again these are the same taxon as "Chloeia capillata". [details] Unreviewed
