Aphrodita aculeata Linnaeus, 1758
Notes
Specimens of
Aphrodita aculeata
from the Adriatic and Aegean may have been confused with
Aphrodita alta
Kinberg, 1865 or
Aphrodita perarmata
Roule, 1898 (
Barnich and Fiege 2000b
). In addition, the description of
Aphrodita aculeata
by
Fauvel (1923)
contains elements of both
Aphrodita aculeata
and
Aphrodita alta
, thus specimens identified using Fauvel's key may belong to either species.
