Notes
Originally described from Greece by Arvanitidis and Koukouras (1997), mainly based on having equal antennae instead of a longer median one in Paradiopatra bihanica Intes & Le Loeuff, 1975. Arvanitidis and Koukouras (1997) examined the holotype of Paradiopatra bihanica but found it to be dried out and the tips of the antennae broken off. Budaeva and Fauchald (2011) considered the holotype to be in good condition and with equal antennae, placing Paradiopatra calliopae into synonymy with Paradiopatra bihanica . However, Paxton and Arias (2016), after re-examining the holotype of Paradiopatra bihanica and specimens of Paradiopatra calliopae , re-instated the latter as a valid species and doubt the presence of Paradiopatra bihanica in the Mediterranean. See also notes under Paradiopatra quadricuspis (M. Sars in G.O. Sars, 1872).
