Material examined: 1 ñ, NMNS 8772-17, 8.5 × 6.0, Linshanbi, Shihmen District, New Taipei City, 18 December 2011.

Distribution: Indo-West Pacific; Hawaii Islands; French Polynesia ( Serène 1984; Poupin 1996).

Remarks: Chlorodiella nigra (Forskål, 1775) ( Fig. 3C ) is commonly found in reef habitats in Taiwan. Numerous reports have noted the presence of this species along the coasts of eastern and southern Taiwan ( Ng et al. 2017). This study reports the occurrence of this species in northern Taiwan, where the annual surface seawater temperature in January is over 5°C lower than that of eastern and southern Taiwan ( Central Weather Bureau 2023).
