Rem.:

Species maintained in Brodsky & al. (1983, 281) who estimate that Spinocalanus horridus in Damkaer (1975, p.37) is not a synonym of this species; likewise these authors (1983, (p.281, 287) consider that S. stellatus in Vaupel Klein (1970) is a synonym with doubt of S. spinipes, but without providing arguments.
