Akanthophoreus Sieg 1986

Description

Genus Akanthophoreus Sieg, 1986

Remarks. Guerrero-Kommritz (2004) suggested that the genus Akanthophoreus is a junior synonym of Paraleptognathia Kudinova-Pasternak 1981, but Bird (2007: p. 123) points out why this synonymy is untenable (and valuably discusses the general confusion in this genus). Equally, the subfamily Akanthophoreinae sensu Guţu & Sieg 1999 is almost certainly an artificial grouping (e.g., Larsen & Wilson, 2002), and is at present the subject of revisionary study by other tanaidacean workers, but has to be retained herein pending the results of that work.
