Note on withdrawal of Eurobowmaniella phuketensis and transference of Gastrosaccus simulans Tattersall to its genus (Crustacea:Mysidacea)
1996
Murano, Masaaki
Eurobowmaniella phuketensis is cancelled as a junior synonym of Gastrosaccus simulans Tattersall, 1915. G. simulans is transferred to the genus Eurobowmaniella, due to the fact that the third male pleopod is modified as a complicated copulatory organ while in other Gastrosaccus species, except for G. muticus, it has a simple and styliform termination. G. muticus is also transferred to Eurobowmaniella owing to the similar modification of the third male pleopod. Pertaining to my previous paper in 1995 (Murano, 1995), I described Eurobowmaniella phuketensis as a new genus and a new species. After further examination, it was clarified that this species was identical with Gastrosaccus simulans Tattersall. The taxonomic position of this species is discussed in this paper.
