Comparison of main taxonomic features in species of Cymbasoma with a cephalothorax relative length equal or over 60%, females only: C. tumorifrons (Isaac, 1975).
Mouth position way back anterior part of forehead in percentage of the cephalothorax length.
Compare with C. bowmani, C. boxshalli, C. longispinosum, C. morii, C. nicolettae, C. quintanarooense, C. striatus, C. thompsoni, C. sp. (from Brazil), C. chelemense.


Espèce Cymbasoma tumorifrons - Planche 6 de figures morphologiquesIssued from : E. Suarez-Morales in Arthropoda Selecta, 1999, 8 (1). [p.68, Figs.1-3].
Male (from Aegean Sea): 1, habitus (dorsal); 2, forhead and A1 (dorsal); 3, genital lappets (ventral).
Scale bars in mm.

Nota: - Oral papilla located 27% of way back along ventral surface of cephalothorax.
- A1 relatively short and strong, 5-segmented, representing almost 39% of total body length, and ca. 80% as long as cephalothorax.
- The genital lappets are different in in the specimens examined when compared with Isaac's drawings. They were depicted as having an extremely slender distal end, with seta-like terminal projection. These structures have a terminal rounded chitinous process. Howeyver, it remains clear that this is probably one of the most acute male genital lappets in the genus.
- P5 absent (as usual in males).
- Urosome 4-segmented.
- Ratio of lengths of genital doube-somite and following two free somites 31.7 : 23.8 : 44.3 = 100.
- Anal somite with a medial constriction, apparently vestige of intersegmental division.
- Caudal rami quadrate, with terminal margin as wide as proximal one; approximately 1.1 times longer than wide, bearing 4 well-developed terminal setae.

Selected taxonomic features in Cymbasoma tumorifrons.
GDS = anterior half genital double-somite globose; IS = inner seta of P5 smallest; IS <50% = inner seta <50% as long as others; L = longest seta on P5; OP on CT = position of oral papilla on cephalothorax; AI/CT = relative length (as a percent) of A1 to cephalothorax; = relative length (as a percent) of position of oral papilla anteriorly on cephalothorax; T = transverse striations on ''neck'' area.
Compare with species of Cymbasoma with uniramous P5 armed with 3 setae: C. concepcionae, C. reticulatum, C. bowmani, C. quintanarooense, C. boxshalli, C. bali, C. frondipes, C. striatum, C. claparedi.

Rem.: For Suarez-Morales & Alvarez-Silva (2001, p.187) the main difference between the type specimens and the Mexican specimen is the size; this is not a factor with strong taxonomic value, hence, the size of the Mexican female of this species merely increases the known range of size variation for C. tumorifrons; the slight differences between the Mediterranean and Mexican specimens are not sufficient to warrant erection of a new taxon (see Table 1). Isaac (1974) assumed that female and male belonged to a single species; however, this may have been misleading because the only way to link males and females of one monstrilloid species is to find them in the same host or verify that they share distinctive diagnostic characters ; morphologic characters that may link both sexes include striation of the head ((see in Suarez-Morales & Escamilla, 1997) and the general structure of the eyes; another feature whose value to link sexes is the branching pattern of Grygier & Ohtsuka's (1995) distal setae of the distal segment . A1 (setae b1-b-3); these are distaly branched in male C. tumorifrons (Suarez-Morales, 1999) and unbranched in the assigned female (Isaac, 1974). Althrough the Mexican female seems to represent C. tumorifrons, there is the possibility that it belongs to another species. In 2009, Suarez-Morales & Morales-Ramirez (2009, p.1264) ceate Cymbasoma guerrerense species.
After Suarez-Morales & al. (2017, p.1817) this new species was originally described as C. tumorifrons by Isaac (1974) from Emborios Bay (Aegean Sea). He determined that the males and females collected belonged to the same species, based on its co-occurrence in the same sample. In the redescription of the males, Suarez-Morales (1999) argued that the name, published by Isaac (1974) was, nomenclaturally unavailable and it was explicity deemed as a nomen nudum there. Cymbasoma tumorifrons have to be attributed to Suarez-Morales (1999). This name, however, exclusively refers to the male type specimens, thus excluding the females mentioned by Isaac (1974). The adult females designated as allotype and paratypes by Isaac (1974) are not part of the type specimens of C. tumorifrons, and, thus, represent an undescribed species. A redescription of these female specimens was published by Suarez-Morales (2002), who art that time attributed these females as C. tumorifrons based on Isaac's type specimens, plus a female found in Toulon Bay. A comparison of the original illustrations by Isaac (1974) and Suarez-Morales (2002) redescription of these female specimens from the Aegean Sea and Toulon Bay allowed us to determine that our specimen from Trieste clearly belongs to the C. mediterranea.
