Remarks.
Elthusa nierstraszi nom. n. replaces the name Elthusa parva (Nierstrasz, 1915), originally Livoneca parva Nierstrasz, 1915. Elthusa nierstraszi nom. n. has mesially directed, narrow anterolateral margins on pereonite 1; pereonite 7 not overlapping pleonite 1; pleonites all subequal in width and narrower than the pereon; and the posterior margin of the pleotelson forms a caudomedial point.
The cover date for Trilles’ (1994) ' Prodromus ' was 1991, but the work was most likely completed prior to that of Bruce (1990) and Trilles was simply retaining Livoneca parva in its original combination (albeit using the alternative incorrect spelling Lironeca ; see Anon 1996). Prior to Bruce (1990) the name Livoneca (also as Lironeca ) was largely used in the sense of Elthusa , and there is no possibility that Nierstrasz’s species would remain in or be returned to Livoneca , a strictly New World genus.
