Remarks

Nordenstam (1933) listed this species as a member of ‘ Microarcturus ’ while describing new material. The specimen he illustrated did not belong to Beddard’s species and was placed in Litarcturus by Brandt (1990) on the basis of reduced body spination and multiarticulate antenna 2 flagellum. Nordenstam’s illustrated specimen is now Fissarcturus stebbingnordenstami Brandt, 1990 (see above).
