Classification provided by the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). [1511661<\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Taxonomic note<\/strong>: This species was previously treated as a junior synonym of the type species of Caloria, C. elegans<\/em> (Picton, 1979). More recently, it was recognized as a separate species on the basis of rhinophore morphology (Furfaro et al., 2016). Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have recovered this species as a sister taxon of\u00a0 C. elegans<\/em> (Furfaro et al., 2016; Schillo et al., 2019), and phylogenetically distant to the type species of Facelina<\/em>. Furthermore, C. quatrefagesi<\/em> possesses a black gland at the tip of the cerata, which is a diagnostic feature of the genus Caloria<\/em> (Picton, 1979). The new combination was proposed to clarify the phylogenetic affinity of this species (Ellis-Diamond et al., 2021).<\/p>\n
