A review of the families and genera of the hyperiidean amphipod superfamily Phronimoidea Bowman & Gruner, 1973 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea) Author Zeidler, Wolfgang text Zootaxa 2004 2004-07-14 567 1 66 journal article 4802 10.11646/zootaxa.567.1.1 173cf168-6357-4b76-955f-7b523590ff1d 1175­5334 5259734 41C7D868-7BD9-46F4-94F1-EBEA427E2836 Primno latreillei Stebbing Primno latreillei Stebbing, 1888: 1445–1447 , pl.179A. Type material The three syntypes of P. latreillei are in the BMNH (89.5.15.243): on four microscope slides . Remarks This is one of the smaller species of Primno , with adults reaching only 6–10mm in length. It is very similar to P. johnsoni , and Vinogradov et al . (1982) regard P. johnsoni as a junior synonym of P. latreillei . Amongst the Australian material examined ( Zeidler 1992a , 1998) there was considerable variation in the relative length of the basis of pereopod 7 compared to the remaining articles combined, ranging from slightly longer to about twice as long. This brings the specimens within the morphological range of P. johnsoni , which is probably synonymous with P. latreillei . The morphological variation found in pereopod 7 appears to be ontogenetic. Primno latreillei seems to have a scattered distribution having been recorded from the Tasman Sea, the North Pacific Ocean (off California), the Red Sea, the eastern Mediterranean Sea and the south­eastern part of the Gulf of Guinea .
