- WilliaWa1988: pp.80 ( ) [Key to species of Chionaspis of the Tropical South Pacific Region]
Remarks
- Systematics: Chionaspis broughae seems to be related to C. linderae, in the general arrangement of the dorsal ducts and the shape of the median lobes. It differs from C. linderae in possessing 3 pairs of well-developed lobes instead of 2, and in the development of the prosomal tubercles (Williams & Watson, 1988).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Williams & Watson (1988).
