The species was first described by Camille Montagne in 1845 as Jania hombronii, based on a type specimen collected from the Auckland Islands. [1] [2] The species was transferred to the genus Corallina in 1849 by Friedrich Traugott Kützing. [3] In 2025, Corallina chamberlainiae was synonymised with Corallina hombronii. [2]

The species is known to occur in New Zealand, Chile, the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha. [2]
