96. Cyclorhynchus granulosus Stimpson Texas 1 ZMC status. – Not found.

Type status. – Possible type.

Type locality. – St. Joseph’s Island , Texas .

Current name. – Latreutes parvulus ( Stimpson, 1871: 151) (see Chace, 1997).

Remarks. – Cyclorhynchus de Haan, 1845 , is preoccupied, and was replaced by Rhynchocylus Stimpson, 1860, now considered to be a synonym of Latreutes Stimpson, 1860 (see Chace, 1997). Apparently granulosus is a lapsus or a manuscript name for parvulus .

Stimpson (1866: 48) published a truncated and incomplete description of Rhynchocyclus parvulus . In the same paper, he named Glypturus , G. acanthochirus , Callichirus , Scyllarus nodifer (now Scyllarides nodifer ; see Williams, 1984), and Hippolysmata californica (now Lysmata californica ; see Chace, 1997). These accounts were repeated by Stimpson in 1871, in which the original account of 1866 was cited for each one.

Stimpson (1871) named Rhynchocyclus parvulus from material collected in Texas. In this latter account, Stimpson did not cite his account of 1866, but considered R. parvulus to be a new species. We suggest that R. parvulus Stimpson, 1866 , is a nomen nudum, and that the name should date from 1871.
