Genus Cryptocopoides Sieg, 1976 View in CoL
Magotanais Guerrero-Kommritz & Bła ż ewicz-Paszkowycz, 2004, new synonymy
Remarks. The genus Magotanais was erected for M. pruinosus Guerrero-Kommritz & Błażewicz-Paszkowycz, 2004 , a species from the Antarctic. Their species accords entirely with the genus Cryptocopoides , even though those authors only compared it with the families Colletteidae Larsen & Wilson, 2002 and Tanaellidae Larsen & Wilson, 2002 . For this reason we synonymize Magotanais with Cryptocopoides .
Cryptocopoides View in CoL itself has a confused history, since Sieg (1977), showing a lack of understanding of allopatry and of the absence of any significant dispersive ability in these taxa, synonymized the two species described at that time, C. arctica ( Hansen, 1887) View in CoL and C. antarctica ( Vanhöffen, 1914) View in CoL . Sieg’s (loc cit.) redescription of “ C. arctica View in CoL ” is of limited use as it was based on material from both type collections, from the Arctic and the Antarctic. It is also evident from the original descriptions of these species that, in comparison with C. arctica sensu Hansen View in CoL , C. antarctica View in CoL has a shorter carapace (as long as wide rather than significantly longer than wide), a proportionately longer anterior half of the pereon, and a proportionately shorter distal antennular article.
With the Pacific species described recently by McLelland (2007), there are four previously-described species of the genus Cryptocopoides View in CoL , viz: C. arctica View in CoL , C. antarctica View in CoL , C. pruinosus (Guerrero-Kommritz & Błażewicz-Paszkowycz, 2004) comb. nov. and C. pacificus McLelland, 2007 View in CoL .
