Acanthonotozomopsis Watling & Holman, 1980, Senior Synonym of Vicmusia Just, 1990 (Crustacea : Amphipoda : Vicmusiidae)

Abstract

Acanthonotozomopsis Watling & Holman, 1980 and Vicmusia Just, 1990 are synonymised under the older name. Two species are recognised, A. pushkini (Bushueva, 1978) and A. duplocoxa (Just, 1990). The placing of Acanthonotozomopsis in the Acanthonotozomellidae or Iphimediidae sensu lato is rejected. The family name Vicmusiidae is retained in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
