Phronima atlantica GuérinMéneville View in CoL
Phronima atlantica GuérinMéneville, 1836a: 21 View in CoL , pl. 25, fig. 4.
Type material
Two syntype females of P. atlantica are in the ANSP ( CA 2687 ), in the Guérin Méneville collection (No. 444): once alcohol preserved, now dry (see Zeidler 1997) .
Remarks
The current citation for the original description of this species is contentious. In the past most authors have cited GuérinMéneville 1836b (p. 7–9; pl. 18, fig. 1) (e.g. Shih 1969; Spamer & Bogan 1992, 1994; Vinogradov et al. 1982), but next to P. atlantica, GuérinMéneville refers to his 1836a publication (pl. 25, fig. 4). The figures in both publications are the same, but the fact that GuérinMéneville refers to his 1836a publication in reference to P. atlantica indicates that this predated his 1836b paper and should therefore become the original citation for this species. That 1836a was probably published well before 1836b is supported by the fact that other species described in his 1836b paper are not listed in 1836a.
Regarding the publication “Iconographhie du Règne Animal de G. Cuvier…” (Guérin Méneville 1836a), Stebbing (1888) says, “This work was published in livraisons between 1829 and 1844. The Plates containing Amphipoda probably all belong to the early part of 1836. An advertisement in the “Quarantecinquième livraison. Crustacés. Pl. 35.,” says, “La 46 e et dernière livraison se composera du Texte descriptif de l’Iconographhie et paraîtra fin mars 1838 ”, but the promise was not, it appears, fulfilled till the end of 1843. The specific names, however, being given on the Plates, will carry the date 1836.”
The similarity of this species to P. sedentaria has already been discussed under that species.
