Zeidler (1992a, 1998) provides additional taxonomic information.</p> <p>The phronimids are unusual amongst the Hyperiidea in that they are often found in transparent barrel­shaped “houses” that they have fashioned from tunicates (salps, doliolids and pyrosomes) and sometimes from siphonophores, or even heteropods (Firoloida). Laval (1968b, 1978, 1980) provides more information on Phronima and its association with gelatinous ‘barrels’.</p> <p>Additional biological information on Phronima is provided by Minkiewicz (1909a, b), Laval (1968b, 1980), Shih (1969), Repelin (1970, 1972), Laval and Lecher (1995), Land (1981, 1989, 1992), Vinogradov et al.

The synonymy follows that justified by Shih (1969, 1991) and is not discussed further here.</p> <p>Species of Phronima live in surface waters, and are relatively common in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world’s oceans, and rarely cross the Subtropical Convergence.

The figures in both publications are the same, but the fact that Guérin­Méneville refers to his 1836a publication in reference to P. atlantica indicates that this pre­dated his 1836b paper and should therefore become the original citation for this species. That 1836a was probably published well before 1836b is supported by the fact that other species described in his 1836b paper are not listed in 1836a.</p> <p>Regarding the publication “Iconographhie du Règne Animal de G. Cuvier…” (Guérin­ Méneville 1836a), Stebbing (1888) says, “This work was published in livraisons between 1829 and 1844. The Plates containing Amphipoda probably all belong to the early part of 1836. An advertisement in the “Quarante­cinquième livraison. Crustacés. Pl. 35.,” says, “La 46 e et dernière livraison se composera du Texte descriptif de l’Iconographhie et paraîtra fin mars 1838 ”, but the promise was not, it appears, fulfilled till the end of 1843.

Phronima solitaria was not figured in any of the plates, and was only described on p. 21 of the text, which was not published until 1844! This should therefore be the date used when citing this species (e.g. Spamer &amp; Bogan 1992, 1994). Incidentally, the reference given by Shih (1969) for the original description of this species refers to P. atlantica.</p> <p>Phronima solitaria was considered a mere variety of P. atlantica by Vosseler (1901) but Shih (1969) elevated it again to specific status, a decision which is supported by the examination of the type.</p> <p>The similarity of this species to P. sedentaria has already been discussed under that species.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC7BFFFDFEDFF971FEF6FBD0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Additional species have been described subsequently by Bowman (1985) and Sheader (1986).</p> <p>Species of Primno are often found in abundance in near­surface waters (e.g. Stephensen 1924, Yoo 1971, Thurston 1976, Tranter 1977, Young &amp; Anderson 1987, Vinogradov 1991).</p> <p>Their association with gelatinous hosts remains to be established, and may be limited to juvenile stages. The adults are active swimmers, and larval development is more direct than in other hyperiideans, resulting in the release of active juveniles from the marsupium of females. Bowman (1978) suggests that the modified dactylus of pereopod 7 of females may be used to transfer juveniles from the marsupium to a gelatinous host, as has been observed in Vibilia (Laval 1963). The only record of an association with gelatinous plankton is that of Daniel (1973), who found “ Euprimno macropus ” within the posterior nectophores of the siphonophores Abylopsis tetragona and Sulculeolaria chuni. This record however, may not represent a true association as the position of the hyperiidean does not rule out the possibility of a passive introduction during sampling (Laval 1980).</p> <p>Bowman (1978) provides a summary of biological information on Primno and Yoo (1972), Ikeda (1995) and Sheader and Batten (1995) provide additional information.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC63FFE5FEDFFA4CFB77FA38	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Bowman recognised eight species, one of which, H. antarctica Spandl, 1927, is now regarded a synonym of H. spinigera Bovallius, 1889 (Thurston 1977). Two additional species have been described more recently; H. bowmani Vinogradov, 1976 and H. curticephala Vinogradov &amp; Semenova, 1985.</p> <p>Recently, I established that Oniscus quadricornis Fabricius, 1775 is most likely H. medusarum (Müller, 1776), and that the description of Fabricius is based solely on drawings by Sydney Parkinson held in the BMNH (Zeidler 1995). This species was listed only once in the literature (Fabricius 1781) before Fabricius (1787) realised that his species might be the same as H. medusarum. This synonymy seems to have been accepted by later naturalists but, probably because O. quadricornis was an inadequately described species, it was not recognised as the senior synonym. Stebbing (1888) also accepted the above synonymy but, like his predecessors, did not realise that Fabricius’s species was first published in 1775 and thus has priority. Similarly Bovallius (1889) gives a list of synonyms of H. medusarum but erroneously cites O. quadricornis Fabricius, 1781. Although Fabricius’s name has priority his species cannot be determined with certainty and the name has not been in use since 1781 (Fabricius 1781). Hyperia medusarum, on the other hand, is a well­established species and the name should be maintained to conserve nomenclatural stability.</p> <p>Subsequently a syntype of Hyperia latreillii Milne­Edwards, 1830 (later corrected to H. latreillei) was discovered in the ANSP (CA 2697), in the Guérin­Méneville collection (No. 431) (Zeidler 1997). The specimen was identified tentatively as H. galba (Montagu, 1813), rather than the closely related species H. medusarum, with which H. latreillei has been synonymised in the past (Bowman 1973). Milne­Edwards (1830) gave the type locality of his species as the Bay of Biscay. But H. medusarum is a more northerly species than H. galba, being confined to the northern part of the North Sea (Schellenberg 1942), and extending south to about 52°N, off the west coast of Ireland, but with a single record at 48°N, southwest of Ireland (Stephensen 1924). Hyperia galba, on the other hand, extends farther south in the Atlantic than H. medusarum, reaching at least to the latitude of the coast of Spain (Alvarado 1955). Assuming that the locality data for H. latreillei, given by Milne­Edwards (1830), is correct then his species is more likely to be H. galba, as is supported by the examination of the syntype. Thus, in the absence of contrary evidence H. latreillei should be considered a synonym of H. galba rather than H. medusarum as has been assumed by Bowman (1973). Sars (1895), Norman (1900), Tattersall (1906) and Chevreux and Fage (1925) also regard H. latreillei a synonym of H. galba.</p> <p>The gelatinous plankton associates of Hyperia are summarised by Thurston (1977) and Laval (1980). Most are with medusae, and Laval (1980) even suggests that records of associations with other gelatinous plantation such as salps and ctenophores may be erroneous. However, the association of H. gaudichaudii Milne­Edwards, 1840 with the ctenophore, Beroe sp. has been confirmed recently, and previous records of similar associations should not be dismissed (Zeidler &amp; Gowlett­Holmes 1998).</p> <p>Apart from Bowman (1973) and Laval (1980), additional biological information is provided for H. galba by Bowman et al. (1963), Metz (1967) and Dittrich (1987, 1988, 1992), for H. macrocephala by White and Bone (1972 – as H. galba), and for H. spinigera by Thurston (1977).</p> <p>Bowman (1973) and Vinogradov et al. (1982) provide distributional data for the species.</p> <p>Species: Hyperia medusarum (Müller, 1776); H. galba (Montagu, 1813); H. gaudichaudii Milne­Edwards, 1840; H. macrocephala (Dana, 1853); H. spinigera Bovallius, 1889; H. crassa Bowman, 1973; H. leptura Bowman, 1973; H. bowmani Vinogradov, 1976; H. curticephala Vinogradov &amp; Semenova, 1985.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC69FFEBFEDFFEE3FC1EFCB8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Its status has been in question being known alternately as Euthemisto or Parathemisto, sometimes with subgenera. Bowman et al. (1982) restored the genus Themisto, which up until that time was considered a junior homonym of the nudibranch Themisto Oken, 1815; a work rejected for nomenclatural purposes by the ICZN (1956).</p> <p>The uncertainty of the generic status combined with several ill­defined species, subspecies and varieties has made specific determination very difficult, despite the efforts of Bowman (1960), Sheader and Evans (1974) and Schneppenheim and Weigmann­Haass (1986). Vinogradov et al. (1982) recognise six species, but Schneppenheim and Weigmann­Haass (1986) demonstrated that northern hemisphere material, previously identified with T. gaudichaudii Guérin, 1825, is a separate species, T. compressa Goës, 1865. In view of the past confusion, and recent studies by Schneppenheim and Weigmann­Haass (1986), a new key to species is provided to assist future workers.</p> <p>The holotype of T. gaudichaudii was discovered recently in the Guérin­Méneville collection (No. 438), in the ANSP (Zeidler 1997). The correct citation for the original description of this species has been confused in the past with some authors citing Guérin, 1828 (eg. Schneppenheim &amp; Weigmann­Haass 1986; Spamer &amp; Bogan 1992, 1994). This has arisen because, although the genus and species was first described in 1825, Guérin (1828) more or less repeated his description in a separate memoir introducing them as new, and providing figures of the type.</p> <p>All species of Themisto are mainly free­swimming, and can occur in large numbers, particularly in colder waters where, like krill, they play a significant role as food for plankton­feeding predators. Although considered mainly free­living, species of Themisto are known to be associated with medusae and salps (Madin &amp; Harbison 1977; Laval 1980), and specimens of T. australis have been collected from Salpa fusiformis from Tasmanian waters. Additional biological and ecological information is given by the following; Bary (1959), Kane (1963), Siegfried (1965), Gray (1967), Evans (1968), Semenova (1974), Sheader (1975, 1977, 1981, 1990), Sheader and Evans (1975), Williams and Robins (1981), Bowman et al.

Integument generally pigmented but can be transparent. Head large, spherical to quadrate in shape. Eyes large, occupying most of head surface. Some anterior pereonites fused, usually 1–2 but sometimes up to 1–5; often more pereonites fused in female than male. Coxae fused with pereonites. Antennae 1, two­articulate in females (2–3 in Hyperioides); multi­articulate in males with enlarged callynophore, with two­field brush of aesthestascs medially. Antennae 2 reduced to one article in females; multi­articulate in males. Mandibles with palp in males, without palp in females; molar sometimes reduced. Maxillae 1 with palp and welldeveloped outer lobe (relatively less developed in species with maxilliped with reduced inner lobe); inner lobe absent. Maxillae 2 bilobed. Maxilliped with slender, or ovate outer lobes; inner lobe well­developed, about half­length outer lobes, or rudimentary. Gnathopod 1 simple, barely chelate, subchelate, or moderately chelate. Gnathopod 2 chelate. Pereopods 3–7 simple (prehensile in Phronimopsis). Pereopod 7 subequal in length to, or slightly shorter than, P6. Uropods with articulated endopods and exopods. Telson rounded, often small, rarely as long as half of peduncle of U3. Gills on pereonites 2–6. Oostegites on pereonites 2–5.</p> <p>Six genera: Lestrigonus, Phronimopsis, Themistella, Hyperioides, Hyperietta and Hyperionyx.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Bowman (1973) has revised all of the genera of this family, except for Phronimopsis, which is considered to be monotypic. Thus, only updated information is provided here.</p> <p>Species of this family are difficult to identify with certainty without some specialist knowledge. The degree of fusion of the pereonites is a critical character used to distinguish species, and while this character is constant in adults, juveniles of some species may have more pereonites fused than in adults. Thus, it is necessary to examine characters other than the fusion of pereonites, when dealing with immature specimens (see Zeidler 1998). While Bowman’s (1973) keys work relatively well for females and most males, it is still difficult to identify species in which pereonites 1 and 2 are fused dorsally in males (i.e. the genera Lestrigonus, Hyperioides and Hyperietta). Thus, an additional key has been constructed to aid the identification of these species, but it should be used in conjunction with Bowman’s (1973) keys and excellent illustrations.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC6DFFEFFEDFFB2EFC56FC70	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The only record of an association with gelatinous plankton is with the ctenophore Beroe forskalii (Krumbach 1911). The prehensile structure of pereopods 3–7 strongly suggests a parasitic existence. It is relatively uncommon, but widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions of the world’s oceans.</p> <p>It should be noted here that Claus (1878: 270) mentions Phronimopsis in a general paper on hyperiideans but does not provide any characters to distinguish it from other genera.

Body and pereopods covered with fine setae. Head large, round. Eyes large, occupying most of the head surface. Pereon broad. Pereonites all separate. Pereonite 1 with lateral, anteriorly pointed projection, just above coxa. Pereonites 2–7 raised into transverse, rounded folds. Coxae separate from pereonites. Antennae 1, four­articulate in females; multi­articulate in males, with enlarged callynophore, with twofield brush of aesthestascs medially. Antennae 2, three­articulate, or absent, or reduced to small knob on cuticle in females; multi­articulate in males. Mandibles without palp in females, with or without palp in males; molar reduced to broad plate with two small tubercles and row of small robust setae. Maxillae 1 with broad palp and slightly less­developed outer lobe; inner lobe absent. Maxillae 2 bilobed with robust setae. Maxilliped with slender, rounded outer lobes; inner lobe rudimentary, or absent. Gnathopod 1 weakly subchelate. Gnathopod 2 chelate. Pereopods 3–7 usually simple, rarely P5–7 may be minutely subchelate. Pereopods 5–7 subequal in length. Uropods with articulated endopods and exopods. Telson triangular, about half­length peduncle of U3. Gills on pereonites 2–6. Oostegites on pereonites 2–5.</p> <p>One genus: Iulopis.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>This family has been established to accommodate the genus Iulopis because it has characters that preclude it from the families Hyperiidae and Lestrigonidae, as defined here.</p> <p>The availability of the vast collections of the ZMUC, especially from the Dana expeditions, enabled me to examine more material than had previously been available to other researchers, particularly of the rare species, I. mirabilis. An examination of this material, especially of the antennae and mouthparts, resulted in a couple of unexpected discoveries.</p> <p>According to the literature (e.g. Bovallius 1889, Bowman &amp; Gruner 1973, Vinogradov et al. 1982) males have a mandibular palp which is absent in females. However, it seemed likely that if the coxae are free from the pereonites, and all pereonites are separate, that Iulopis should belong with the family Hyperiidae, and that the females probably possessed a mandibular palp which had been overlooked. Thus, specimens of I. loveni Bovallius, 1887 (72 females, 41 males) and I. mirabilis Bovallius, 1887 (34 females, 22 males) in the ZMUC were examined to determine the presence or absence of a mandibular palp. Upon examining this material no mandibular palp could be found in either sex of I. loveni but was present in males of I. mirabilis ! The mouthparts of Iulopis are relatively large (Fig. 3), so it is relatively easy to determine this character without dissection. Careful dissection of a mature male of I. loveni confirmed the absence of a mandibular palp in this species. This finding is very surprising as the presence/absence of mandibular palps is consistent in all other genera of Hyperiidea and can be one of the characters used to separate families. Bovallius (1889) clearly illustrates a mandibular palp for the male of I. loveni (pl. 7, fig. 5), and says of the female (p.123) “the mouth­organs are like those in the male”. One can only assume that Bovallius confused his preparations of mandibles and illustrated one from I. mirabilis.</p> <p>In regard to the second antennae of females I found that in I. loveni they are absent, or at most represented by a small knob on the cuticle but in I. mirabilis they are three­articulate (Fig. 4)! Bovallius (1889) records females of I. loveni with second antennae with two small articles, but provides no illustrations. It seems unlikely that this character is variable, or that it is dependent on maturity, as several juveniles and ovigerous females were examined. It seems that Bovallius (1889) is incorrect in this regard, but his erroneous observation has unfortunately, been repeated in the literature. He did not have females of I. mirabilis.</p> <p>Iulopis loveni is a most unusual species as the absence of a mandibular palp in both sexes is a rare condition amongst the Physocephalata and this character, combined with second antennae absent in females, is only found in the family Dairellidae. On the other hand I. mirabilis most closely resembles the family Lestrigonidae in the morphology of the antennae and the mandibular palp. If it were not for the similarity in morphology of the pereopods, mouthparts and the body in general, one might have placed these two species in different genera if not families.</p> <p>dditional characters that distinguish Iulopis are the maxillipeds, which lack inner lobes, the mandibles, in which the molar is reduced to a broad plate and pereonites 2–7, which are raised into distinctive, transverse, rounded folds. The hirsute body is also unusual.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC52FFD2FEDFFDF3FEF9FAC0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

However, the description and figures provided by Bovallius (1889) readily characterise this species.

Antennae 2 of female absent or reduced to small knob on cuticle. Mandibular palp absent in both sexes.

Gnathopod 2 with slender carpal process, almost as long as propodus, with single robust seta terminally. Uropod 1 &amp; 2 of female with rami only slightly longer than respective peduncle. Uropod 3 of female with rami subequal in length to peduncle. Telson of female almost half­length peduncle of U3.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>There is some confusion regarding the type locality for this species. Bovallius (1887) says the “South Atlantic” but, in his monograph (Bovallius 1889), he gives two different localities for this species, one from the North Atlantic (17º22’N, 37º23’W) and one from the Mediterranean Sea (36º20’N, 4º30’W). In the SMNH there is a registered specimen (No. 1749) from “35ºN, 30ºW” (a male with the gnathopods missing from the left), and also four unregistered microscope slide preparations; two without locality data, one labelled “27ºN, 45ºW” and the other “ Euiulopis 36º20’N, 4º30’W ng.”. None of this material can be confirmed as representing type material, but it is very likely that Bovallius used it for his monograph, particularly the specimens from the Mediterranean Sea.</p> <p>This species closely resembles its only congener, I. mirabilis, but tends to be more hirsute, and females lack second antennae and males lack a mandibular palp.</p> <p>According to the literature in mature females pereopods 5–7 are prehensile, presumably for firm attachment to gelatinous hosts. However, an examination of a large number of specimens in the ZMUC (72 females, 41 males) revealed that only eight specimens have these pereopods so transformed (Fig. 1) including a juvenile female and three males! Thus, the reason for this transformation remains unclear, and seems unrelated to sex or maturity. Also, I could not find any additional morphological evidence to support the possibility that specimens with prehensile pereopods may represent another species.</p> <p>The only record of a gelatinous association is by Harbison et al. (1977) who recorded a female from the medusa, Pandaea conica.</p> <p>Although this species is rarely collected, it has been captured in reasonable numbers in the Mediterranean Sea (Stephensen 1924).</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>This species is known from scattered records in the tropical regions of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and the warmer waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC54FFD8FEDFFA16FEF4FDDF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pereonites 1 &amp; 2 fused. Coxae fused with pereonites (suture sometimes visible). Antennae 1, four­articulate in females; multi­articulate in males, with enlarged callynophore, with two­field brush of aesthestascs medially.

However, Dairella is a very distinctive genus, adequately characterised by Bovallius (1887, 1889).</p> <p>Diagnosis</p> <p>The characters of the family are also those of the genus.</p> <p>Monotypic.</p> <p>Sexual dimorphism</p> <p>The sexes are very similar, but the filiform, multi­articulate antennae readily distinguish males. Mature males also tend to have uropod 3 with relatively broader exopods and endopods, and the apex of the telson is often concave medially in females but is usually convex in males. Females also have a much broader pereon (Fig. 7A), especially in mature specimens.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Dairella is a very distinctive genus, readily distinguished by the relatively broad, dorsoventrally compressed pereon, and the simple gnathopods and pereopods. The genus seems to be uncommon, and very little is known about the biology.</p> <p>Following an examination of over 200 specimens I have found it impossible to distinguish between the two nominal species, D. californica (Bovallius, 1885) and D. lattisima Bovallius, 1887, and consider them synonymous. The material examined confirms that the characters used to distinguishing between the two species fall into the range of variation resulting from sex and age. Bovallius (1889), followed by Vinogradov et al. (1982), separate them as follows. In D. californica, pereopod 5 is only slightly longer than pereopod 4; the basis of pereopod 5 is slightly longer than the carpus, and uropod 3 has narrowly lanceolate exopods and endopods. In D. latissima, pereopod 5 is distinctly longer than pereopod 4; the basis of pereopod 5 is subequal in length to the carpus, and uropod 3 has broadly lanceolate exopods and endopods. These characters are subjective and have proved to be unreliable. In the material examined, which included numerous examples of both sexes, pereopod 5 was always only slightly longer than pereopod 4 (1.1–1.2x) and the basis of pereopod 5 was mostly subequal in length to the carpus in mature specimens (about 1.2x), but slightly longer in immature specimens (1.3–1.6x). The endopods and exopods of uropod 3 vary considerably amongst females, usually being broader in larger and ovigerous specimens (Fig. 8). Juvenile males are more like females, although the rami of uropod 3 maybe slightly broader (Fig. 7D), becoming even broader in mature specimens (Fig. 7E). In males pereopod 5 is also marginally longer than in females.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC5FFFC1FEDFF99EFB3BF950	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the SMNH there is one microscope slide of uropod 3 labelled “ Paraphronima californica ”, without locality data, which may represent type material. The description and figures of Bovallius (1889) readily characterise this species.

The species is characterised by the description and figures of Bovallius (1889).

It is in relatively good condition, and indistinguishable from that figured for D. latissima by Bovallius (1889). Bovallius’s (1887) description is misleading in regard to the relative lengths of the carpus and propodus of the gnathopods, and the peduncles of uropods 1 &amp; 2; characters that Stebbing (1888) used to distinguish his species.</p> <p>Material examined (&gt; 200 specimens)</p> <p>Types.

Very little is known regarding its biology. Laval (1980) found a sub­adult female attached to the siphonophore Forskalia edwardsi and a sub­adult male attached to the narcomedusan Cunina vitrea, both caught near Villefranche, France. Vinogradov (1988) records it as penetrating the host tissue, and burying the abdomen in a manner reminiscent of the behaviour of hippoboscid flies.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>This species has now been recorded from the warm waters of all oceans, including the Mediterranean Sea, but appears to be most common in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. However, it remains to be recorded from the North Indian Ocean. It is recorded here from the South Indian Ocean and the Tasman Sea for the first time. Vinogradov et al. (1982, in 1996 supplement) also record it from the subantarctic (40º–50ºS, 158ºW).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03931615EC41FFC7FEDFFEE4FBFAFC90	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
