Parelasmopus Stebbing, 1888 View in CoL

Parelasmopus Stebbing, 1888: 1029 View in CoL . — Stebbing, 1906: 417. —J.L. Barnard, 1972a: 253 — Barnard & Barnard, 1983: 629, fig. 10. — Lowry & Stoddart, 2003: 185 (catalogue).

Type species. Megamoera suensis Haswell, 1879b , here selected (replacing Gammarus suluensis Dana, 1852 ).

Included species. Parelasmopus View in CoL includes 10 species: P. albidus ( Dana, 1852) View in CoL ; P. echo J.L. Barnard, 1972a View in CoL ; P. dancaui Ortiz & Lalana, 1997 View in CoL ; P. mallacootaformis Ledoyer, 1984 View in CoL ; P. setiger Chevreux, 1901 View in CoL ; P. sowpigensis Lowry & Springthorpe, 2005 View in CoL ; P. suensis ( Haswell, 1879b) ; P. suluensis ( Dana, 1852) ; P. ya J.L. Barnard, 1972a; P. zelei Ledoyer, 1983 View in CoL .

Remarks. Stebbing (1888) based the genus Parelasmopus on Gammarus suluensis Dana, 1852 . According to J.L. Barnard (1972a), Stebbing (1888) misidentified his material. Stebbing based his concept of Parelasmopus on a species with a pair of dorsal spines on pereonite 7, but pereonite 7 is smooth in P. suluensis . At that time Barnard could not identify the species, but comparing Stebbing’s (1888) illustrations with Berents’ (1983) illustrations of the lectotype of P. suensis , it is clear that Stebbing had P. suensis . In reality Stebbing based his description of Parelasmopus on P. suensis , using material from Challenger station 186, near Thursday Island, Torres Strait (10º30’S 142º18’E). According to ICZN (4 th edition, 1999) Article 70.3.1, this species may be selected as the type species, replacing Parelasmopus suluensis ( Dana, 1852) , originally chosen by Stebbing (1888).
