By generalizing to a mixed-state environment the treatment recently given to a model advanced by Cooper et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 1337 (1994)], we show that some characteristics of the so-called semiquantum chaos can be described by recourse to a special motion invariant of the problem, that thus becomes a chaos indicator.
