Remarks.
In his original description of this species,
Takahashi (1991)
listed part of Benson (1996)’s illustration of
Helotholus histricosa
Jørgensen
in the synonymy. Takahashi lists Benson’s plate 31, figs. 6–7 (only) in his synonymy, but upon examination of both sets of plates, it appears there was a typo in Takahashi’s list;
Benson (1966)
’s pl. 31, figs. 7–8 are conspecific with
Lampromitra spinosiretis
Takahashi (1991)
, pl. 34, figs. 1–2, 7.
Benson (1966)
’s pl. 31, fig. 6 is clearly a
Pseudodictyophimus
specimen, due to its long feet, short thorax, and lack of an axobate. Therefore, we have indicated the corrected synonymy citation in the list above.
Matsuzaki
et al.
(2015)
transferred this species from
Lampromitra
to
Ceratocyrtis
due to the skeletal structure of the cephalis in
Takahashi (1991)
’s
paratype
specimen. Here we follow
Matsuzaki
et al.
(2015)
’s genus transfer, and add that the absence of three thoracic ribs and presence of an axobate are additional evidence that this species belongs in
Ceratocyrtis
rather than
Lampromitra
.
