Stegocephalopsis Schellenberg View in CoL

Stegocephalopsis Schellenberg, 1925: 200 View in CoL .

Type species. Cancer ampulla Phipps, 1774 .

Included species. Stegocephalopsis ampulla ( Phipps, 1774) View in CoL ; S. latus ( Haswell, 1879) ; S. mamillidacta Moore, 1992 View in CoL ; S. pacifica ( Bulycheva, 1952) .

Species found in the area. Stegocephalopsis latus ( Haswell, 1879) .

Remarks. Stegocephalopsis latus was one of the first stegocephalid species to be recorded from the area ( Tasmania), but the species has never been sufficiently described. Only two specimens have ever been recorded, both from the type locality ( Haswell, 1879, 1885). For a further discussion on this species, see Berge & Vader (2000).

Stegocephalopsis vegae Oldevig, 1959 was put into synonymy with the type of the genus, S. ampulla by Berge & Vader (2001a).
