Etymology: Chromis: Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335).
Issue
This species is synonym of Chromis notata (Temminck and Schlegel, 1843) according to Iwatsubo et al. (2013: Ref. 94774:193). The synonym Chromis kennensis Whitley, 1964 is considered to be valid. Further confirmation needed.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 13 - 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 13; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 11.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Adults inhabit lagoon and outer coral reefs, boulder bottoms and lava cliffs, in small to large aggregations (Ref. 7247). Diurnal species (Ref. 113699). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).
