Acanthaspidia Stebbing, 1893: 378 [replacement name for Acanthoniscus Sars, 1879].— Vanhöffen 1914: 537.— Menzies 1962 a: 177.— Menzies 1962 b: 83.— Wolff 1962: 34.— Birstein 1963: 20.— Menzies & Schultz 1968: 155.— Kussakin 1988: 156.— Brandt 1991: 208.— Timm et al. 2013: 239. Paracanthaspidia Menzies & Schultz, 1968: 161 (synononymised by Brandt, 1991). Exacanthaspidia Menzies & Schultz, 1968: 171 (synononymised by Brandt, 1991). Type species: Iolanthe acanthonotus Beddard, 1886 (by monotypy). Remarks. Sars (1879) erected the genus Acanthoniscus Sars, 1879 for the species Acanthoniscus typhlops Sars, 1879, collected from the Norwegian Sea, its type species by monotypy. Beddard (1886 a) erected the genus Iolanthe Beddard, 1886 a for a single new species, Iolanthe acanthonotus Beddard, 1886 a, collected from south of Kerguelen Island. Beddard (1886 b) erected a second genus Ianthopsis Beddard, 1886 b for Ianthe bovallii Studer, 1884. Beddard (1886 b) remarked on the close resemblance of this new genus to Acanthoniscus. Bovallius (1886) realised that Acanthoniscus was preoccupied, a junior homonym of Acanthoniscus Kinahan, 1859 (Isopoda: Oniscidea), and although he remarked that it should be replaced with another name, he did not propose one. Stebbing (1893) proposed the replacement name Acanthaspidia Stebbing, 1893 for Acanthoniscus. Iolanthe was first synonymised with the younger name Acanthaspidia by Hansen (1916), while Nordenstam (1933) instead synonymised Iolanthe with Ianthopsis. Menzies (1962 a) established the family Acanthaspidiidae Menzies, 1962 a, recognising Iolanthe (mispelled as Jolanthe) and Acanthaspidia as separate genera, a view that was continued by Menzies & Schultz (1968) ...
