“ Bdellozonium sp.” ( Zhang 2017: 182–183) = Siphonotidae sp. This specimen was determined to the wrong family. The telson, head and legs clearly show that this is a member of the Siphonotidae , not Polyzoniidae . We are unsure how Zhang determined this specimen to the genus Bdellozonium, a recent genus with 2 species in California ( Enghoff et al. 2015), which are much larger and can only be determined by a study of the gonopods, which are absent in the pictured specimen.
