Etymology: Chimaera: Named for the mythological creature composed of parts of multiple animals, referring to their odd mix of characteristics (See ETYFish); argiloba: argos (Gr.), white; lobos (Gr.), rounded projection, referring to distinct white posterior margin of first dorsal fin (See ETYFish).

Taxonomic Remarks
Close to Chimaera phantasma Jordan & Snyder, 1900. Specimens collected off New Caledonia and Indonesia could be conspecific (Ref. 76966).
