Taxonomy Capa et al (2016) do not actually use the new combination name, Ephesiella shivae. However, "transfer of Ephesiopsis shivae to Ephesiella" is in their abstract. They state: "An examination of the types of the recently described Ephesiopsis shivae Rizzo, 2009 from Brazil revealed that the specimens do not show the typical generic attributes (Rizzo 2009, Fig. 3A-C, E-F). The chaetae considered in the original description as simple seem to be compound chaetae that have lost the blades, as it has been observed in many specimens of Ephesiella spp. Moreover, E. shivae was described as having a pygidium with four macrotubercles (Rizzo 2009), but the examined Brazilian specimens showed the typical two dorsal macrotubercles and the ventral digitiform pygidial cirrus. Based on this observation, we propose that E. shivae is transferred to Ephesiella and conclude that Ephesiopsis is monotypic". [details]
