Parapleisticantha Yokoya 1933
Description
Genus Parapleisticantha Yokoya, 1933
Type species. Parapleisticantha japonica Yokoya, 1933, by monotypy.
Remarks. Yokoya (1933) established the genus for one new species, P. japonica Yokoya, 1933, from Japan; but it has generally been regarded as a junior synonym of Pleistacantha Miers, 1879 by most workers (e.g., see Takeda & Miyake 1969; Sakai 1976; Guinot & Richer de Forges 1982). Sakai (1986: 238; 1940: 55) suggested that the taxon was a valid subgenus, Pleistacantha (Parapleisticantha) but Ahyong et al. (2005: 2) preferred to treat it as a synonym of Pleistacantha s. str. until the genera could be reappraised. Richer de Forges et al. (2013: 65) re-examined Japanese material and resurrected Parapleisticantha as a valid genus with two species, P. japonica Yokoya, 1933, and P. ludivinae Richer de Forges, Ng & Ahyong, 2013, from the Philippines.
