Description
Summary:Primno macropa Guérin­Méneville Primno macropa Guérin­Méneville, 1836b: 4, pl.17, fig. 1a–f. Primno menevillei Stebbing, 1888: 1447–1448, pl.179B. Primno antarctica Stebbing, 1888: 1448–1451, pl. 209B. Type material The holotype female of P. macropa is in the ANSP (CA 2685) (see above). Type material of synonyms The holotype female of P. menevillei is in the BMNH (89.5.15.244): on three microscope slides. A syntype female of P. antarctica is in the BMNH (89.5.15.245): in spirit. Remarks This is one of larger species of Primno, attaining lengths of up to 15 mm. It is very similar to P. abyssalis which, until relatively recently (Bowman 1985), was considered a synonym. Although Bowman (1978) presumed the type of P. macropa was lost, his studies of this species are confirmed by the examination of the type, which probably came from the subantarctic waters off Chile. The distribution of this species is restricted to the subantarctic biotic province. ... : Published as part of Zeidler, Wolfgang, 2004, A review of the families and genera of the hyperiidean amphipod superfamily Phronimoidea Bowman & Gruner, 1973 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea), pp. 1-66 in Zootaxa 567 on page 22, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.567.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5259734 ...
