Remarks.

Chaetophiloscia hastata was described by Verhoeff (1929) on specimens from Euxinograd, Bulgaria. In a paper published in 1928, Verhoeff cites the species to distinguish it from C. elongata and gives some distinguishing characters, such as the enlarged male pereopod 1-2 carpus, the extreme elongation of the male pleopod 5 exopod which surpasses the telson. Moreover, he also illustrated the male pleopod 1 endopod and the male pereopod 7 merus. Since these data unequivocally distinguish the species from all the others in the genus, Verhoeff, 1928 should be considered the authorship of the species instead of Verhoeff, 1929.
