REMARK
This species was referred to the boine genus Charina Gray, 1849 by Kluge (1993), but Vidal & David (2004) showed that Calabaria reinhardtii is genetically distant from the American species of the genus Charina. As a consequence, Calabaria Gray, 1858 was considered to be valid and placed in a separate family.
