A review of the families and genera of the hyperiidean amphipod superfamily Phronimoidea Bowman & Gruner, 1973 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea) Author Zeidler, Wolfgang text Zootaxa 2004 2004-07-14 567 1 66 journal article 4802 10.11646/zootaxa.567.1.1 173cf168-6357-4b76-955f-7b523590ff1d 1175­5334 5259734 41C7D868-7BD9-46F4-94F1-EBEA427E2836 Primno macropa Guérin­Méneville Primno macropa Guérin­Méneville, 1836b: 4 , pl.17, fig. 1a–f. Primno menevillei Stebbing, 1888: 1447–1448 , pl.179B. Primno antarctica Stebbing, 1888: 1448–1451 , pl. 209B. Type material The holotype female of P. macropa is in the ANSP ( CA 2685 ) (see above) . Type material of synonyms The holotype female of P. menevillei is in the BMNH (89.5.15.244): on three microscope slides . A syntype female of P. antarctica is in the BMNH (89.5.15.245): in spirit . Remarks This is one of larger species of Primno , attaining lengths of up to 15 mm . It is very similar to P. abyssalis which, until relatively recently ( Bowman 1985 ), was considered a synonym. Although Bowman (1978) presumed the type of P. macropa was lost, his studies of this species are confirmed by the examination of the type , which probably came from the subantarctic waters off Chile . The distribution of this species is restricted to the subantarctic biotic province.
