AppENdIx 1. INvAlId AEgId NAmEs
Included here are species no longer in the family as a consequence of being junior synonyms, relegated to species
inquirenda or nomen dubium, or having been transferred to other combinations or placed in other families.
Aega affinis H. Milne Edwards, 840; no locality was
given by Milne Edwards ( 840) for this species
which, with only four lines of description, remains
incertae sedis [Milne Edwards also used
the ‘popular’ name of Aega voisine]; regarded as a
junior synonym of Aega psora by Kussakin ( 979).
This is not Rocinela affinis Richardson, 904a.
Aega alaskensis Lockington, 877; now in Rocinela.
Aega australis Richardson, 906b (and Richardson,
908); junior homonym of A. australis Whitelegge,
90 ; = Aega antarctica Hodgson, 9 0.

Aega belliceps Stimpson, 864; now in Rocinela.

Miers, 875.
Aega dubia Richardson, 9 0; = Aega vigilans Haswell,
88 .
Aega edwardsii Dollfus, 89 ; = Aega punctulata Miers,
88 (present study, see Appendix 2, p. 235).
Aega efferata Dana, 853; nomen dubium.
Aega emarginata Leach, 8 5; = Aega psora Linnaeus,
758.
Aega entailee Latreille, 829; = Aega psora Linnaeus,
758.
Aega giganteocula Nunomura, 988a; = Aegiochus vigilans
Haswell, 88 (present study, p. 50).
Aega harfordi Lockington, 877; long placed in Cirolana
Leach, 8 8 (Cirolanidae).
Aega hirta White, 847; nomen nudum; subsequently
cited by Hansen ( 890) and listed by Nierstrasz
( 93 ); see Clarke and Preswell (200 ).
Aega interrupta von Martens, 868; = Alitropus typus
Milne Edwards, 840.
Aega koltuni Kussakin, 967; = Aega antarctica Hodgson,
9 0 (present study, p. 226).
Aega loveni Bovallius, 886; = Aega ventrosa Sars,
859.
Aega macronema Bleeker, 857; now in Argathona (Corallanidae).
Aega magnoculis Richardson, 909; = Aega plebeia
Hansen, 897.
Aega maorum Filhol, 885; = Pseudaega punctata (Thomson,
884) (Cirolanidae).
Aega meinerti Miers, 884; = Aega serripes Milne Edwards,
840.
Aega multidigita Dana, 853; now in Alcirona (Corallanidae).
Aega novizaelandiae Dana, 853; nomen dubium (present
study, p. 2 ).
Aega ommatophylax Stebbing, 905; = Aega vigilans

905 (Tridentellidae Bruce, 984).

Aega schioedteana Bovallius, 885; = Aega deshaysiana
(Milne Edwards, 840).
Aega stroemii Lütken, 859; = Aega bicarinata Rathke,
837.
Aega tumida Nunomura, 988b; there is little to differentiate
this species from the poorly known
Aegiochus spongiophila (Semper, 867), the likelihood
of A. tumida being a junior synonym being
further strengthened by the fact that both species
are known only from ‘glass’ sponges (Hexactinellidae).
Acherusia rotundicauda Lilljeborg, 85 ; = Rocinela danmoniensis
Leach, 8 8.
Acherusia complanata Grube, 864; = Rocinela dumerilii
(Lucas, 849)
Aegiochus nordenskjoldii Bovallius, 885; = Aega ventrosa
M. Sars, 859.
Alitropus dimorphus Pillai, 954; = Alitropus typus Milne
Edwards, 840.
Alitropus foveolatus Schioedte and Meinert, 879b; =
Alitropus typus Milne Edwards, 840.
Harponyx pranizoides Sars, 882; = Syscenus infelix,
Harger, 880.
Rocinela aries Schioedte and Meinert, 879b; = Rocinela
signata Schioedte and Meinert, 879 (see Brusca
& France 992).
Rocinela alascensis (Stimpson, 864); = Rocinela belliceps
(Stimpson, 864).
Rocinela deshaysiana Milne Edwards, 840; long placed
in Aega; now in Aegapheles.
Rocinela latis Southwell, 1915: 321, figs 12–15; a species
of Nerocila, aegathoid stage, from Lates calcarifer.
Rocinela lilljeborgii Bovallius, 885; = Syscenus infelix,
Harger, 880.
Rocinela major Brocchi, 877; southern Indian Ocean,
St. Paul Island; the identity of this species is entirely
unknown and there is no information on
the whereabouts of any potential type material;
here regarded as nomen dubium.
Rocinela mundana Lanchester, 902; = Alitropus typus
Milne Edwards, 840.
Rocinela ophthalmica Milne Edwards, 840. Type locality
Sicily. No further data than that given by Milne
Edwards ( 840) are available. Milne Edwards
stated that Aega deshaysiana (then as Rocinela
deshaysiana) was very similar to this species, and
it is possible that it is a species of Aega. Species
inquirenda.
Rocinela simplex Chilton, 926; = Alitropus typus Milne
Edwards, 840.
