Harpagocythere baileyi Hobbs & Peters, 1977

1968 Harpagocythere tertius new species.—Hobbs & Walton: 247 [in part] (A, D, H, R, T).

1974 Harpagocythere tertius Hobbs and Walton, 1968 .—Hart & Hart: 99, 228, Pl. LII [in part] (C, D, H, R, T).

1977 Harpagocythere baileyi , new species.—Hobbs & Peters: iv, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 33, 38, 45, 55–57, 64, 70, Fig. 28a–f, Map 6 (A, D, H, R, T).

1977 Harpagocythere tertius .—Hobbs & Peters:2, 57, all in part; Whitewater River record synonymized with H. baileyi (C, D, T).

2014a Harpagocythere baileyi Hobbs & Peters, 1977 .—Mestre, Monrós & Mesquita-Joanes: 949 (C).

Remarks: Hobbs & Peters (1977: 2, 55, 59) suggested that H. tertius reported from the Whitewater River

(Savannah Basin) in Hobbs & Walton (1968: 247) and again in Hart & Hart (1974: 99, 228) is likely a synonym of

H. baileyi . Harpagocythere tertius , otherwise known to inhabit the neighboring Santee River Basin of South

Carolina , has not since been recovered from the Whitewater River system. Further, the type locality of H. baileyi is

from a small headwater tributary to the Whitewater River, near to the locality from which H. tertius was reported.

Unfortunately, the specimen that provided the basis for this record has been lost.
