*************************************************
Typosyllis armillaris from Greenland
and deposition of "old types" are requested
*************************************************
Dear collegues,
I am working on a worldwide revision of Syllis (including Typosyllis
and Ehlersia) for Ph.D. and I am willing to declare a NEOTYPE of
Typosyllis armillaris (O.F. Mueller, 1771), as I couldn't find
Mueller's types. With respect to the year of description I believe it
is lost and a NEOTYPE is claimed.
Mueller found that species on Greenland, and I like to ask everyone
whether one has T. armillaris-material from Greenland in his
collection that may be loaned for further investigations to me?
By this occasion, does anyone knows about the deposition of
Haswell's, Marenzeller's, Malmgren's, Willey's and Jeldes' types?
I am still looking for the following types:
Syllis corruscans Haswell, 1885,
Syllis (Typosyllis) parturiens Haswell, 1920,
Syllis (Typosyllis) pectinans Haswell, 1920,
Typosyllis ehlersioides Marenzeller, 1890,
Syllis fasciata Malmgren, 1867,
Typosyllis taprobanensis Willey, 1905,
Typosyllis patagonica Jeldes, 1962 (also his discription is
unknown to me).
With deep thanks for your interest and for your help!
Kind regards,
Frank Licher
