Genus
Psammis
Sars, 1910
Sars (1910: 339)
proposed
Psammis
for its
type
(by monotypy) and only species
P. longisetosa
Sars, 1910
collected from Farsund in southern
Norway
. The genus has seen the addition of four species since,
i.e.
P. borealis
Klie, 1939
collected north of
Iceland
,
P. kliei
Smirnov, 1946
from the East Siberian Sea,
P. longifurca
Bodin, 1968
from the Bay of Biscay and
P. longipes
Becker, 1974
from the
Peru
–
Chile
(
Atacama
) Trench (
Klie 1939
,
1941
;
Smirnov 1946
;
Bodin 1968
;
Becker 1974
).
Wells (1967)
had previously expressed doubts about the validity of the genus, arguing that the only character that separates it from
Danielssenia
is the number of setae on the exopod of P5; however,
Gee (1988)
pointed out that species of both genera are probably trophically isolated as indicated by differences in mandibular gnathobase morphology and that this—in conjunction with the fused rami of P5—constitutes sufficient evidence for maintaining the genera separate.
Huys & Gee (1993)
redefined the boundaries of
Psammis
and restricted it to its
type
species and
P. longipes
. While
P. longifurca
was fixed as the
type
of the new genus
Bathypsammis
Huys & Gee, 1993
, both
P. borealis
and
P. kliei
were tentatively maintained as
species incertae sedis
in the
Paranannopidae
(=
Danielsseniinae
;
cf.
Huys 2009
) pending further re-examination. In subsequent contributions
Gee & Huys (1994)
assigned
P. kliei
to the genus
Mucrosenia
Gee & Huys, 1994
as
species incertae sedis
and Huys and Gee (1996) designated
P. borealis
as the
type
(by original designation) of their new genus
Anapophysia
Huys & Gee, 1996
. The original descriptions of both sexes of
P. longisetosa
by
Sars (1910: 339–340
, plate CCXXV; 1921: 94–95, plate LXV.) were supplemented and largely superseded by a number of subsequent re-examinations including those by
Gee (1988: 181–187
,
Figs. 1–4
),
Huys and Gee (1993: 72
, 75, Figs. 21–22) and Huys
et al
. (1996: 248–249, Figs. 93B, 98, Table 4).
