Amphipoda name details
From editor or global species database
Taxonomic remark Slightly rephrased email correspondence with Fabio Stoch, april 2021:
S. Karaman described specimens as "N. stygius d’anconae” in its type locality (Grotta Nuova di Villanova. Julian Pre-Alps). The species was dedicated by S. Karaman to Umberto D’Ancona but he used inadvertently the feminine genitive. Subsequently Ruffo (1978) emended it (there was also the apostrophe to be deleted) as N. stygius danconai S. Karaman, 1954 stating it is homonym of N. skopljensis danconai Benedetti, 1942 (dedicated to D’Ancona as well). In 1997 I replaced the name with N. julius nomen novum, on a basis of the specimens from the same locality. [details]
