Hi again folks,
I agree that the status of Pherusea should be examined, but let me throw
out another thought. Why is not the family still Chloreamidae? Consider
that generic synonymy does not eliminate a family name. I cite for
example, the family Longosomatidae the type genus of which, Longosoma,
is a junior synonym of Heterospio. In this case, Longosomatidae continues
as the family name despite the fact that the type genus is in synonymy.
Just thought I would put a little more mud on the water.
