Gnathophausia fagei
Băcescu, 1991
Records from
Indonesia
.
Northern part of Kei Besar Island water and Makassar Strait (
Băcescu 1991
;
Casanova 1996
). Depth range:
688–
809 m
.
Remarks.
This species resembles
G
.
elegans
, however, the ventrolateral keels on the carapace of
G
.
fagei
do not merge into the posterior marginal keels and the sixth abdominal pleura is armed with a medial ventral spine (
Meland & Aas 2013
).
Băcescu (1991)
correctly described a new subspecies for the material of
G
.
elegans
he examined from the Makassar strait:
G
.
elegans fagei
Băcescu, 1991
. The
holotype
of this new subspecies is deposited in the Museum National of Natural History, Paris,
France
.
Casanova (1996)
followed the opinion of
Băcescu (1991)
and upgraded “
fagei
” to full-species status. However, he cited
G
.
fagei
as a new species, referring to the same type material as
Băcescu (1991)
. Because the description of “
fagei
” by
Băcescu (1991)
is valid, its description should be attributed to him and not to Casanova.
