Neophryxus, a new name for Prophryxus Bruce, 1973 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Bopyridae)
View through CrossRef
The name Prophryxus Bruce, 1973 was proposed for an unusual hemiarthrinid bopyrid parasite of the pontoniine shrimp Coralliocaris graminea (Dana, 1852). It has belatedly come to the author’s attention that this name is preoccupied, being a junior homonym of the name Prophryxus Richardson, 1909, (Crustacea: Isopoda: Dajidae). A new replacement name is now proposed. Classification follows Brandt and Poore (2003) and Poore et al. (2002).
