Hyperia pupa Costa 1853

Description

4. Hyperia pupa Costa, 1853: 178.

— Costa 1857: 234–235, pl. 4, fig. 11.— Carus 1885: 422.— Spence Bate 1862: 298–299.

Hyperiella pupa. — Bovallius 1887: 20.

Type material. Type material of Hyperia pupa could not be found in any major European institution and is considered lost. The type locality is the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Naples. Costa’s description of this species is very inadequate and in 1857 he only illustrates a gnathopod and part of the pleon. Stebbing (1888) considered it a probable species of Lycaea.
