Stegocephalopsis Schellenberg View in CoL

Stegocephalopsis Schellenberg, 1925: 200 View in CoL .

Type species. Cancer ampulla Phipps, 1774 .

Included species. Stegocephalopsis ampulla ( Phipps, 1774) View in CoL ; S. latus ( Haswell, 1879) ; S. mamillidacta Moore, 1992 View in CoL ; S. pacifica ( Bulycheva, 1952) .

Species found in the area. Stegocephalopsis latus ( Haswell, 1879) .

Remarks. Stegocephalopsis latus was one of the first stegocephalid species to be recorded from the area (Tasmania), but the species has never been sufficiently described. Only two specimens have ever been recorded, both from the type locality ( Haswell, 1879, 1885). For a further discussion on this species, see Berge & Vader (2000).

Stegocephalopsis vegae Oldevig, 1959 was put into synonymy with the type of the genus, S. ampulla by Berge & Vader (2001a).
