Myriochele heeri Malmgren, 1867
Notes
Questionable status.
Martin
(1989)
re-examined material identified as
Myriochele heeri
in the Mediterranean and assigned the material and the description of
Myriochele heeri
by
Fauvel (1927)
to
Galathowenia oculata
(Zachs, 1923).
Parapar (2006)
revised and re-described
Myriochele heeri
, as the original type series of
Myriochele heeri
constituted a mixture of different and confused species. The species is probably restricted to the boreal Atlantic and Arctic regions and Mediterranean records are questionable (
Parapar 2006
). Specimens identified using Fauvel's key are likely to belong to
Galathowenia oculata
.
