Name

Callidina elegans Ehrenberg, 1830

Type locality: Berlin, Germany

Synonymy

Callidina elegans Ehrenberg species inquirenda (Donner, 1965, p.279)
Callidina elegans Ehrenberg sensu Hudson & Gosse (1886:109), = Habrotrocha munda Bryce (p.48), Rudescu (1960:206)

Note: Hudson & Gosse did not establish a new taxon, but intended to re-describe Callidina elegans Ehrenberg. Ehrenberg's species, as figured in his Infusionsthierchen (1838), certainly has nothing to do with Habrotrocha.
