M. Belal Hossain. Type locality. Annaba, Algeria . Remarks. Apocorophium acutum is reported from a wide range of localities. The synonymy here comprehensively includes all taxonomic citations of the species. Illustrations by Bousfield & Hoover, 1997 in their review do not have the distal projection on antennae 2 which is present in all other illustrated reports of Apocorophium acutum . FIGURE 2.
