Description
Summary:Genus Hyperiella Bovallius, 1887 Remarks This genus has been revised by Bowman (1973) and Weigmann­Haass (1989), and includes three species, with a circumpolar distribution in the Antarctic Ocean. Very little is known about the biology of these species. To what extent adults are parasitic, or commensal, is not known although their morphology suggests a parasitic existence (Laval, 1980). Libertini and Lazzaretto (1993) provide some information on the karyotype morphology of H. dilatata Stebbing, 1888. Species: Hyperiella antarctica Bovallius, 1887; H. dilatata Stebbing, 1888; H. macronyx (Walker, 1906). ... : 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 29, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.567.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5259734 ...
