Paracanthaspidia Menzies & Schulz, 1968: 161 p. Type species: Acanthaspidia typhlops (G.O. Sars, 1879), by original designation Gender. Female Species composition. See Table 1. Remarks. To date, 20 Acanthaspidia species have been described (see Table 1, incl. the new species). We included Acanthaspidia rostratus (Menzies & Schultz, 1968) to the list, although Brandt (1991) considered this species to be a synonym of A. drygalskii. Based on the investigation of type material of A. drygalskii, there are, however, slight morphological differences between A. rostratus and A. drygalskii, for example, in the length and shape of the rostrum (trifid in A. drygalskii vs. rounded in A. rostratus), the lateral margin of pleotelson (blunt spines and deeply serrated in A. drygalskii vs. more smooth lateral margin in A. rostratus), the body setation ... : Published as part of Timm, Marlene, Kaiser, Stefanie & Brandt, Angelika, 2013, A new species of Acanthaspidia Stebbing, 1898 (Isopoda, Asellota, Acanthaspidiidae) from the bathyal Weddell Sea (Southern Ocean), pp. 238-258 in Zootaxa 3692 (1) on pages 239-242, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3692.1.12, http://zenodo.org/record/222333 ...
