Genus
Hyperoche
Bovallius, 1887
Remarks
This genus is in need of a thorough taxonomic revision. The most recent review is by
Vinogradov
et al.
(1982)
who recognised seven species.
WeigmannHaass (1991)
also reviewed the taxonomy and geographical distribution of
H. luetkenides
Walker, 1906
and
H. capucinus
Barnard,
1930
in the Antarctic waters of the Atlantic.
The gelatinous plankton associates of
Hyperoche
are summarised by
Laval (1980)
. Most are with ctenophores but
H. medusarum
(
Kröyer, 1838
)
is mostly found with medusae. Additional biological information is provided by
Bowman
et al
. (1963)
,
Brusca (1970)
,
Evans and Sheader (1972)
,
Flores
and Brusca (1975)
, Westerhagen (1976),
Westerhagen and Rosenthal (1976)
,
Harbison
et al
. (1977)
and
Cahoon
et al
. (1986)
.
Vinogradov
et al
. (1982)
and
WeigmannHaass (1991)
provide distributional data for the species.
