LITERATURE RECORDS: Stossich 1883; Carus 1884; Ehlers 1864; Kiseleva 1964; Sordino 1989; Požar-Domac 1994; Zavodnik & Kovačić 2000; Castelli et al. 2008.

REMARKS: According to Pleijel (1998), Periboeia Ehlers, 1864 may constitute a senior synonym of the name Hesiospina Imajima & Hartman, 1964 . Since type matrial of P. longocirrata, the type species of the genus, does not exist, the designation of a neotype may be justified when topotype material from the Northern Adriatic Sea becomes available.
