G. affinis, E. HESSE, 1878, Asterope oblonga, G. 0. Saks, 1887 and Cylindroléberis oblonga,
G. \\. MÜLLER, 1894. In his work of 1894, p. 219 this author does not include in his list of
synonyms of Cylindroleberis oblonga E. HESSE’s t wo species ment ioned above and the synonyms
Cypridina Mariae, \Y. Baird, 1850 c, and C ylindr oleberis Mariae, G. S. Brady. 1868 b, are denoted
with a query as being doubtful.
G. S. Br ad v and A. M. Norman discussin their work of 1896, p. 630 a species Asterope Mariae.
With it they synonymize ail the above-mentioned species included by G. W. MÜLLER, 1912 with
the exception of E. Hesse’s two Copechaete species; all the synonymizations are denoted as certain.
- Other authors as well who deal with these forms, J. A. Cushman, 1906, Ch. Jüday, 1907
and R. W. Sharpe, 1909 make the same synonymization as G. S. Brada and A. M. Norman.
Fig. CI. —- Asterope Grimaldi var. vicina n. sp. et var., $. — I. Left valve seen from inside; 186 X. 2. Distal part
of the seventh limb; the cleaning bristles are broken; 656 X.
In order to decide the relation of A. Grimaldi and the variety described above to the
above-mentioned forms and the mutual relations between the latter I shall try to give here a very
mueh concentrated account and discussion of the descriptions and figures of the latter that are
found in the literature.
The original description of W. Baird’s Cypridina Mariae is found in this author’s work
of 1850 c, p. 257. This description is very short and incomplete and only deals with the appearance
and length of the shell: „Carapace valves elongate oval, of exactly the same size at each
extre-mity; extremities rounded. Dorsal and ventral margins nearly plane or very slightlv arched“.
The shell is about 1,5 mm. long. It was found at the lsle of Slcye.. Scotland. Three figures
accompany this description, the shell as seen from the side, from above and from in front. The
description and figures only show that this author had a mature female or a larva of a species
probably belonging to the Grimaldi group of the genus Asterope.
