Genus Cristatotanais Kudinova-Pasternak, 1990 Spinitanaopsis Larsen, 2005: 258 –259 (new synonymy). Crurispina Larsen, 2003: 781. Kudinova-Pasternak (1990) erected the genus Cristatotanais for her species C. longicheles Kudinova-Pasternak, 1990, from 1038 m depth in the mid South Atlantic. Larsen (2003; 2005), in describing Spinitanaopsis insolituchelia (Larsen, 2003), from a cold-seep in the Gulf of Mexico at 570 m depth, made no reference to this paper, nor did he compare his genus with Cristatotanais. However, we cannot find any significant difference in characters between them sufficient to distinguish them at a generic level. Larsen’s species thus becomes Cristatotanais insolituchelia (Larsen, 2003) comb. nov. Neither Kudinova-Pasternak (1990) nor Larsen (2003; 2005) assigned their genera to a family, but Larsen & Wilson (2002) included Cristatotanais in their new family Colletteidae, wherein the attachment of the cheliped was more consistent with the Colletteidae rather than their concept of the ... : Published as part of Błażewicz-Paszkowycz, Magdalena, Bamber, Roger N & Cunha, Marina R, 2011, New tanaidomorph Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) from submarine mud-volcanoes in the Gulf of Cadiz (North-east Atlantic), pp. 1-53 in Zootaxa 2769 on pages 13-14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.204823 ...
