Notes Sendall and Salazar-Vallejo (2013)re-instated Sternaspis thalassemoidesOtto, 1821 from the Mediterranean alongside Sternaspis scutata, mainly based on morphological features of the fan (truncate, entire and not expanding beyond the posterolateral margins in Sternaspis thalassemoides; notched and expanded beyond the posterolateral margins in Sternaspis scutata). Specimens recorded in the past as Sternaspis scutatacould belong to either of the two species. Type locality: Mediterranean (originally Adriatic Sea, neotype from Izmir, Turkey).
