Chromidina elegans
Chromidina elegans is a species of parasitic ciliates. It is a parasite of the cuttlefish Sepia elegans, which was described from off Naples, Italy, by Foettinger in 1881 under the name Benedenia elegans [1] and latter assigned to the genus Chromidina by Gonder, in 1905.[2] The species was redescribed by Chatton & Lwoff in 1935.[3]

The cuttlefish Sepia elegans, the host of Chromidina elegans
Chromidina elegans was redescribed in 2016 from material in the collections of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, and a neohapantotype and paraneohapantotypes were assigned to the taxon.[4]
