New combination Salazar-Vallejo & Jimi (2025) state that "Amphinome paupera [Grube, 1857] was transferred to Pareurythoe by Wesenberg-Lund (1962, 38) and newly combined as P. paupera." This is incorrect as the same authors note that Rioja (1941) had earlier recombined Eurythoe paupera, the existing recombination at the time, to Pareurythoe. It is true that Rioja does not mention the original combination in Amphinome, but he was not required to. It was Ehlers 1901 who first created the Eurythoe paupera recombination. [details]
