Phaenna spinifera
Taxonomy
Contributor Remarks
 Dear Nicolas, we were wondering why Onchocalanus nudipes (who has a P5 in female , see Wilson 1942)  was included as a synonim of Phaenna spinifera since this species has been reported as not having a P5 in the female by Bradford et al.,  (1983) and in Boxshall and  Halsey (2004). Thank you very much for your help.  Claudia and Marianne Answer of Claude Razouls As I have the publication of Wilson at my disposal, I brought the necessary details in the database (see above in Phaenna spinifera Species Card). Therefore I inserted all figures of Wilson. Thank you for your comments, it is always useful, but there was no error, otherwise always refer when possible to the original document. It is not possible to me to do all the detailed analysis for each listed species, which sometimes involves shortcuts. At times I make some changes or corrections to the figures given by the authors, but I limit the maximum in order to not denature their data. This shows that the best authors also had their lot of inaccuracies. This applies to the drawings of the authors, and also to provided geographical locations. Hence the caution to take "as is" references in Compl. Ref., and also in synonyms. | |
