Chloeia candida sensu McIntosh, 1924

Chloeia candida: McIntosh 1924: 5 ; McIntosh 1925: 17–18, Pl. 1, Fig. 9 (non Kinberg, 1867).

Type locality. Off NE Durban, 65 m water depth.

Remarks. The Southern Africa record by McIntosh (1925: 17) indicated that “the dorsum is marked by two madder-brown lines which are boldest in front and get thinner posteriorly.” For the chaetal fine details, it was indicated “the absence of serrate bristles of any kind in this species is a feature of note, both dorsal and ventral being quite smooth” ( McIntosh 1925: 17). These two features resemble C. bistriata Grube, 1868 , described from the Red Sea, and in case some future specimens are examined, they should be compared against C. bistriata (see above).
