Resurrection and neotype designation of Pilumnus spinulosus Kessler, 1861 (Crustacea: Decapoda)
Arthropoda Selecta, 28(4):545-548.
ABSTRACT. The scientific name Pilumnus spinulosus
Kessler, 1861 is resurrected for the representatives
of the brachyuran genus Pilumnus Leach, 1816
(Decapoda: Brachyura: Pilumnidae), occurring along
the northern coastal line of the Black Sea. This species
has been mistakenly identified as P. hirtellus (Linnaeus,
1761) and recently, based on DNA data, referred to
as P. aestuarii Nardo, 1869. Furthermore, a neotype of
P. spinulosus Kessler, 1861 is designated as the original
material is presently considered as lost. P. hirtellus
ponticus Czerniavsky, 1868, P. aestuarii Nardo,
1869, P. hirtellus intermedia Czerniavsky, 1884 are
considered as junior synonyms of P. spinulosus Kessler,
1861.
РЕЗЮМЕ. Научное название Pilumnus spinulosus
Kessler, 1861 восстановлено для представителей
рода Pilumnus Leach, 1816 (Decapoda: Brachyura:
Pilumnidae), встречающегося вдоль северной бере-
говой линии Черного моря. Ранее этот вид был
ошибочно идентифицирован как P. hirtellus (Linnaeus,
1761), а позднее, на основании данных ДНК,
отнесён к P. aestuarii Nardo, 1869. Видовые назва-
ния P. hirtellus ponticus Czerniavsky, 1868, P. aestuarii
Nardo, 1869, P. hirtellus intermedia Czerniavsky, 1884
рассматриваются как младшие синонимы P. spinulosus
Kessler, 1861.
