Paracaropsis VOLGIN 1969

Review — Volgin (1969) erected Paracaropsis for two species of Acaropsis , viz. P. travisi ( Baker, 1949) and P. strofi (Samši ˇnAEk, 1956). Summers and Price (1970) redescribed and reillustrated P. travisi from the type specimen; they showed that, unlike in the original illustrations, the posterior plate is present and setae sce, c2, d1-2, e1-2, and f1 are on minute platelets. Summers and Price also synonymized P. strofi with P. travisi ; they gave no express reasons for this, though presumably based the synonymization on the presence of the posterior plate and setae on platelets in P. travisi and the fact that there were only two species known in the genus.
